Project-based learning
I can offer longer-term projects as an artist in residence. This work will be student-centred (with students taking on specific roles throughout the project), collaborative, creative work with a distinct end goal (eg the creation of a radio soap opera)
As an artist in residence I could work on any number of projects, depending on need and time.
