PEDAGOGY OF THE PRESENT

An 8+-week seminar + practicum to excavate the lost art of EMBODIED KNOWLEDGE PRACTICE + use it to turn your special interests + beloved objects into immersive, transformational + generative teaching spaces

You’ve probably experienced classrooms that were stultifying places where the teacher knows the correct answer & rewards the students who replicate it.

The material is dry AF & one-dimensional. Nothing new is created.

There is no mystery, no revelation, no transformation

OR they’re spaces of “critique”. You’ve been ripped open & torn down in spaces like these

Plus it’s all either hyper-focused on “results” or it’s completely abstract & theoretical

You don’t want to commit to one modality, give up the depth & breadth of your interests

You don’t want to use some sterile boring “disciplined” mode of teaching but you’re also tired of completely winging it.

You want a PEDAGOGY OF THE PRESENT.

You want to use the classroom as a site of transformation + emergence vs. repetition & correction - without overwhelm, impostor syndrome, or exhaustion

You want to teach in a way that changes you & your students & the world at the same time… 

Here’s the truth: schools are actually supposed to be sites of EMERGENCE - not replication of knowledge.

This is what I’m doing & teaching you to do, in PEDAGOGY OF THE PRESENT.

Over the course of 8 weeks, we'll:

🔹 Tune into the little-known yet deeply influential Austrian tradition of Embodied Knowledge Practice through curated, potent excerpts
🔹 Receive a living imprint of what this means for our art, teaching + practice us today
🔹 Conceive + create a curriculum for your own transformational teaching space inspired by this tradition + your beloved objects

What’s included:

• 4 live bi-weekly seminars where we read & think together (you can arrive with or without having done the reading)
• 8 weekly audio lectures in Telegram (so you can listen on the go, as many times as you like)
• Weekly short, potent, curated readings (that tune you into the spirit of Embodied Knowledge Practice without overwhelming you)
• Structured time to work on your final assignment with the group + submit it for workshop + feedback
• 100% of your tuition can be applied to any level of The Lyceum within 30 days

Begins Monday, March 9
[Tuition is non-refundable.]
