1. Who is your mentor and where do they work? If their workplace does not reflect their expertise, what makes them an expert?
My mentor's name is Giovanni Ortega and he is a professor of Theater at Pomona College in Claremont. Pomona College is a very prestigious school and was ranked number one in the country by Forbes Magazine so teaching there, I believe, makes him an expert in his field. He is relevant to my topic because not only is he an expert in theater but also knows a lot about other forms of performing arts. In the conversations we've had it is to my understanding that he has been many places around the world and my project focuses on performing arts on a global scale.
2. What five questions will you ask them about their background?
- What types of performance art have you been apart of? Have you taught all of these or just participated?
- How long have you been teaching theater?
- What specifically do you teach? Acting? Directing? etc.
- Have you traveled to many places? If so have you seen any type of performance native to that culture or country?
- Is there any specific characteristic you feel qualifies you to be an expert in this field?
I'm sure these questions will have many follow up questions during the interview.
