The Theater & Performance Studies major features a curriculum blending analytical and artistic exploration, tailored for students seeking to hone their theatrical abilities while examining these art forms' global significance. This unique program examines theater and performance through lenses of social justice, cultural dynamics, international relations, critical analysis, diverse cultural studies, arts administration, and pedagogy. The TPST curriculum provides hands-on studio classes and seminars covering acting, direction, scriptwriting, production design, technical theater, and stage coordination, alongside innovative projects focusing on reinterpretation and performance creation. Students explore devised theater, intercultural performance traditions, political performance, community-engaged arts, and interdisciplinary studies of identity, race, and gender. The program actively involves students in the TPST production season at the Davis Performing Arts Center and offers specialized courses facilitating undergraduate research across multiple performance disciplines.
