The Department of Theatre and Dance is committed to equity and representation that reflects the student population, builds community, teaches compassion, and condemns intolerance. We are committed to advancing social justice by providing equal opportunity for all students without biases toward race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, economic status, or political beliefs. As artists, educators and scholars, we strive to achieve a creative collaboration in our classrooms, rehearsal, and performance spaces with a focus and dedication to equitable representation while actively embracing traditionally under-represented groups and their contributions to the canon.<br>Our programs prepare professional actors, designers, writers, film markers, editors, producers, directors, technicians, performers, choreographers, as well as teachers for the public schools. Students work closely with professional artist-educators who have earned national and international recognition. Our faculty have performed on Broadway, starred in television shows, danced in professional companies, worked at Tony-Award winning regional theatres, produced award winning films, choreographed for dance productions and musicals, had designs displayed internationally, presented films at Cannes Film Festival and SXSW, published books and articles, and had their plays produced in New York and abroad. We are large enough to provide access to a full complement of highly qualified specialists while prioritizing personal attention to our students. This course provides professional hands-on experience in the theatre or film industry. May be repeated once for credit.<br>Our rigorous curriculum covers every aspect of theatre performance and production, provides a solid foundation in theatre history and analysis, offers a broad exposure to process drama, including thorough coverage of pedagogy and education theory, and features extensive classroom experience at the high school, middle school, and/or elementary levels.
