VASTA Annual Conference July 28-August 1, 2013

Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis

**Conference Registration Open**

Early Registration extended to July 1, 2013

This year’s theme is a call to unpack vocal wisdom as it is embodied and experienced, how it impacts knowledge and production, and aids in the access to pedagogy. The theme also provides an opportunity to explore collaborations and build community across the generations of veteran, mid, and early career voice trainers. 
 
The conference registration form along with more details from conference planner Alison Vasquez can be found under the conferences tab: Upcoming Conference- Minneapolis, MN 2013. Please contact Alison with questions you may have at: conference.director@vasta.org

Share Your Memories!

David Carey at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival VASTA ConferenceIf you have photos of VASTA conferences or events, we would love for you to share them with us.  VASTA does not  have a photographer to take photos for our archives, so we would love to see the conferences or gatherings from your point of view.  We would like to highlight events and memories on the front page of the VASTA site and keep them in our archives.  

You can share them with us in two ways:

  1. To upload multiple photos, click-through the link:  VASTA DropEvent for Pre-2012 Photos
  2. Email single photos to: nap681800@dropevent.com.  If you put in a subject, it will become the caption for the photo.  

Thank you, VASTAns!

 

Member Initiatives

Statement of Teaching Philosophy Support Group

One of the great things our members do is try to support one another for self-improvement.  VASTA Member, Diane Robinson, saw a need to help people in developing their teaching philosophy statements. For anyone in Academia, this can be a serious undertaking because it is often a part of Tenure & Promotion Materials, so she asked members of our listserv, VASTAvox, if they would like to work with one another in helping one another develop a teaching philosophy.  This has grown into the Statement of Teaching Philosophy Support Group.

If you are interested in being a part of these discussions, please contact the Tech Director. You will be added,  begin receiving email messages, and have access to VASTA's Google Apps Group.
