The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program specializing in theatre and performance delves into diverse artistic expressions, encompassing devised theatre, live art, and community-engaged practices. This curriculum breaks away from conventional approaches by embracing innovative performance techniques, non-traditional storytelling methods, extended dramaturgical concepts, avant-garde formats, digital media integration, and artistic investigation. It investigates how core performance elements—duration, environment, physicality, language, and motion—can illuminate pressing societal issues, facilitate meaningful cultural engagement, and push boundaries within modern artistic practice.
Practical studio classes are enhanced by academic coursework in performance theory and community-oriented production experiences. Electives from other academic fields contribute to the program's cross-disciplinary nature. Participants actively engage in staged performances while cultivating their original creative works.
Those more inclined toward theatre's historical, analytical, or philosophical aspects may consider the art, performance, and cinema studies major, which awards a Bachelor of Arts degree.
