About the Program

Liberal Arts Setting

Our approach to the study and practice of theater, film, and media is grounded in a liberal arts environment that values interdisciplinary and culturally plural perspectives. The lively exchange of ideas and practices across disciplines sparks our activities in classrooms, on stage and screen, and in the studios.

Innovative Curriculum

2001: A Dance OdysseyOur curriculum includes not only the study of literature, screen media, and history, but also a full range of theater, film, and media arts, including: acting, directing, dance, scriptwriting, technical theater, computer-aided drawing (CAD), computer graphics, digital filmmaking, scenic, costume, and lighting design. Core courses are continuously updated to keep pace with latest developments, and topics courses provide coverage of cutting-edge scholarship, techniques, and technologies.

Pluralism

We promote diversity across cultures and time throughout our curriculum and our stage productions. Theater, film, and media studies faculty participate actively in cross-disciplinary study areas, including Women, Gender, and Sexuality, African and African Diaspora Studies, Environmental Studies, and East Asian Studies.

Outreach

Students capitalize on an array of opportunities for practicing theater, film, and media to benefit surrounding communities.

Embodying Ideas

MacbethOur curriculum invites students to embody and enact ideas across disciplines, histories, and cultures. Theater, film, and media studies transform thought into action, abstract into concrete, absence into presence.

Engaged Faculty

We have a full time core of faculty who are professionally active as performance scholars and artists and who provide mentoring of each and every student.

Renowned Guests

Every year, students are able to mix intensively and informally with highly reputed guest artists and scholars, who conduct workshops, visit classes, and join them for meals. View a list of recent visiting artists and scholars.
