![]() ![]() I will be working on a video montage that showcases the impact that the performing arts has on the disability community, as well as elevating their voices – specifically, focusing on the Chicago-based organization ABLE Ensemble. What is your Senior Integrated Project (SIP)? I grew both as a director and as a person. As well as learning about the subject matter, I gained a new-found confidence. However, it quickly became my favorite class, and inspired me to keep directing. What has been your favorite class at K? Why?ĭirecting! I was originally quite apprehensive to take this course, and often shied away from directing more than any other aspect of theatre. It’s a friendly department, and they love welcoming new people into the community in whatever way they’d like to be involved. ![]() What is your advice to first years and sophomores about getting connected to this department?Ĭome to the events that the theatre department hosts! It’s a great way to meet other students and get involved in theatre, even if you’re not planning on majoring in it. The community you become a part of, the ways in which we uplift and support each other, and the creative collaboration. What is the best thing about being part of this department? The project management, collaboration, communication and problem-solving skills you gain at K will set you apart as you join the legacy of alumni who have chartered successful careers as playwrights, directors, producers, lighting designers, sound designers, dramaturgs, theatre arts administrators, and so much more. In both programs you will work with local theatre groups and production companies to gain first-hand experience with how the industry works. Notably, you can go to Queens’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland or spend a term in New York City. Taking your learning off-campus, the College has over 50 study abroad and away programs for you to choose from. Each term, the department arranges at least one full-length production, open to majors and non-majors alike-including student-written pieces, guest directors, as well as your favorite classics. Productions offer you hands-on experience in acting, set design, stage management, technical areas, and directing. Outside of the classroom, the department encourages you to take advantage of the experiential learning opportunities available to you: taking part in campus and off-campus productions, performance-based student organizations, and drama study abroad/away programs. Ensuring a breadth of knowledge, you will explore dramatic literature-across cultures and regions-from classics to contemporary. You learn these skills through creative and analytical courses that teach the fundamental and advanced techniques of acting, writing, directing, stagecraft, and set design. This deep look into society through the lens of theatre will teach you to critically think about and consume media, give you the tools needed for self-discovery, and the communication skills to turn ideas into action. By studying the wealth of global theatre traditions, you will investigate the plurality of the human experience and the interdependence of all peoples and cultures. ![]()
