Accomplishments
Shearer was appointed artist-in-residence at the Arnold Theatre of the National College of Education (now National Louis University) located in Evanston, Illinois in 1962. The school was looking to have an artist of great caliber working close by. As artist-in-residence Shearer was given the freedom to create works with her company, derived from her repertory, whenever and however she pleased. Her only obligation was to produce one piece that would be performed at the institute's annual assembly. John Martin of New York Times wrote that Shearer's appointment was the start of alliances formed between established artists and educational institutions.
