Christina Neubrand
Arts and Sciences
For 20 years Christina has worked with students ages 5-85 using exercises, activities, and interactive games integrated with Skills for Psychological Recovery (SPR) to curate performances, educate, write curriculums, improve speech, foster effective communication, build social-emotional strategies, and integrate creativity using tools and techniques from her years as an actor, singer, dancer, and director in the performing arts.
Ms. Neubrand has an M.A. from N.Y.U.'s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development where she learned to integrate her love for the performing arts with developing effective, personalized, and creative programming.
As a theatre and communications professor within the City University of New York system as well as with LIM College Christina has had the opportunity to work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and cultures to improve their speech and communication skills, while cultivating creativity, self-care, and community in a way that meets each individual where they are, honors the experience they bring to the table, and supports their personal vision.
Following Hurricane Sandy Christina was trained in the Skills for Psychological Recovery (SPR) Module as part of Project Hope. The module focuses on self-care strategies and skill-building for managing life after a crisis or trauma. Ms. Neubrand has found that integrating those skills with her arts and education background cultivates a dynamic foundation for student agency and trauma-informed pedagogy that supports student success.
The arts have the power to transform, and Christina has used the skills learned as an artist to transform a variety of positions, responsibilities, and goals into a well-rehearsed and effective production. Learn more about Christina.
