Hello! I would like to introduce myself: my name is Tricia Rodley, and I am a Career Instructor in the Department of Theatre Arts at UO. I earned a Ph.D. in theatre studies, and so you could very officially address me as “Dr. Rodley.” However, I prefer being called “Tricia” in the classroom and when working with students in rehearsal. [enter] My focus in theatre relates to actor training, voice and dialect coaching, practical dramaturgy for actors, new play development, and general theatre studies. I teach Introduction to Theatre Arts (paired with this FIG) as well as several other TA courses: introductory and advanced acting, a seminar for TA majors, voice and dialect, literature and theory courses, and directing. [enter] I also direct plays in the University Theatre season and frequently coach voice or accents for production as well. Most recently, I directed Tartuffe, New Voices (two new plays by UO students), Picnic, and Mr. Burns, a post-electric play. [enter] Prior to UO, I lived and worked in New York, earned an MA in Classical Acting from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and co-founded a theatre company called Printer’s Devil Theatre when living in Seattle. [enter] I look forward to meeting you and working with you in our FIG!
Hi! My name is Isabella, my pronouns are she/her, and I am the FA for Play in Your Day. I am a Cinema Studies and Comparative Literature Major with a double minor in Creative Writing and Classical Civilizations. This is my first year as an FA, and I am so excited to get to know all of you! I'm from SoCal, so I'm really loving the rainy weather in Eugene! In my free time, I love to travel with my family, write, and spend time with my pets. I also love watching movies and TV shows so please feel free to chat with me about your favorites! I love to spend time outdoors hiking and by the ocean even though I burn super-fast. I was in a FIG my first year, and it was one of the best experiences of my freshman year and was where I met some of my really good friends! I am really excited to be a part of this program, so please let me know if you have any questions! I can't wait to meet you this fall!
