Sarah Tan
(she/her/hers)
Education Manager
Sarah Tan (she/her) is an artist educator born and raised in Singapore. She has since worked in the field of theater in both the United States (Arkansas, Arizona, and Minnesota) and Singapore. A late bloomer in performance, Sarah discovered and fell in love with how acting and dance contributed to building her self-esteem, social skills, and sense of joy. As an artist educator she strives to pass on this positive experience by building spaces of belonging for her students. Sarah believes in engaging in work that builds on the strengths and stories of participants in the room, meeting each person as their full selves, and growing with them. Her past research and interests include digital creations with young people, the performance of identity, and the intersection between the performing arts and trauma. Sarah holds a BA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Education Studies from Carleton College, and an MFA in Theatre for Youth and Community from Arizona State University.
