Theater and Performance StudiesTheater andPerformance StudiesBachelor of Arts (BA)Within the Theater and Performance Studies curriculum, we understandperformance to be a mode of critical inquiry and research, a meansof creative expression, and a vehicle for public engagement. Thetheater events that take place within the department are the meansby which students engage with theater performance on the physical,intellectual, and aesthetic levels. It is our hope that you will not only growas performers but also as artists, thinkers, makers, viewers, researchers,and participants in the whole of the artistic event.The practical focus of the major is to create theater of all kinds usingall its art forms. Whether new to theater or seasoned with years oftraining and skill, all students receive an education that engages themfully. Your focus may be on acting, dance, technical theater/design,performance studies, or some combination of these. Equally importantto us is the study of theater and dance performance theory, history,culture, and literature, thereby balancing the practical with the theoretical.Students engage in other upper division electives in stage management,playwriting, directing, choreography, sound design, scenic design,costume design, or lighting design, as well as a myriad of performanceopportunities.The theater training and academic courses offered by our departmentare geared toward the student who is interested in learning about theaterand performance from multiple perspectives.
