We offer creative and inquisitive candidates an opportunity to explore performance, writing, and design through experimentation and exploration. This interdisciplinary approach to performance offers a unique approach to theatre studies. Our students are encouraged to experiment with text, film, live performance, songs, and site-specific areas to develop and create original stories. Along with the classic theatre texts, our students experience comprehensive, interdisciplinary performance training.
Students create a graduation portfolio that includes self-generated short performance work, complete with design, a short-filmed reel, and a monologue to go forward into graduate school or the industry.
African American cultural forms and best practice methodologies, including an introduction to international approaches to theatre, expose students to contemporary performance practice. Students also critically analyze social activism and politics and how these elements come together to shape and form bold and exciting artists and citizens.
