Classes are structured around an actor-intensive two-year
conservatory system. The conservatory system is developed
using smaller class size thus providing each actor with maximum
master teacher guidance.
The Department of Performing Arts is concerned with stimulating
artistic expression by articulate, dynamic and creative people
and is designed to prepare students to enter the profession
as performers, directors, or educators. To this end, three
interlocking methods are used.
- First, departmental advisors build an individualized program
for each student within the college core, curriculum, and
cognate courses.
- Second, the B.F.A. program or a specialized B.A. program
is designed for each student in his or her area of concentration.
- Finally, since application of techniques is essential
to the performing arts, the department sponsors a season
of at least four major productions and student directed
one-acts.
As members of The Theatre Company, students
gain experience in all areas of theatre production in plays
reviewed by the major critics, and by working alongside professional
guest artists and faculty members. Roles in most productions
are open to all students, and non-majors are encouraged to
participate.
