Tylen Einweck C.K. McClatchy’s new Theater teacher was born and raised in Sacramento. He went to McClatchy, and then attended The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), where he majored in Musical Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Outside of school Mr. Einwick enjoys playing the piano and violin. One of his favorite hobbies is disc golf, it is fun, challenging and relaxing at the same time.
Mr. Einweck worked professionally for 4 years as an acting coach, director, and music director. Teaching actors the music songs and leading the orchestra group. In the public school setting this is his first year teaching theater full time.
What got Mr. Einweck interested in teaching theater was his junior year at McClatchy. “The teacher had been let go and the theater was kind of left up in the air. Mrs. Morrison,…was admitted, while it wasn’t her expertise, she would give us everything she could to help us succeed. So she let me take the reins of the after school theater productions. I chose the shows and directed and realized that I had a knack for leadership in theater arts”.
Storytelling and vulnerability are some of the skills someone can learn from taking a theater class. “A big focus of my class is releasing everyone’s inner storyteller via theatrical material. Vulnerability is something that is avoided by many, When we learn to express and be vulnerable we learn to communicate effectively and stay emotionally healthy”.
There are many students who are interested in theater but are shy or don’t feel very confident. Mr Einwick commented on this well known fact by saying, “Breathe. Some of the best performers I know are shy because they use theater to escape themselves. Within everyone, is an ability to shine”.
