In the early courses in the curriculum, you study fundamental approaches to vocal production and movement coordination. In addition, you have beginning experiences with dance/movement and acting. Concurrent with these production-related classes, you explore the ways that theater and dance function in various cultural and historical contexts.
These experiences provide the basis for your later choices to specialize in either creating a dance or directing a play for public performance. As a choreographer or director, you make interpretive and artistic choices to demonstrate your emerging worldview, your personal creativity, and your learning in the arts.
