Dance/Theatre (Minor)
In Alverno's Dance/Theatre program, you will
develop awareness and command of the expressive potential of
your body and voice. You also focus on the role that your intellectual
and emotional processes play in this learning. You study performance
from the perspective of both audience and artist.
As an audience member, you learn how to analyze
and engage with live dance and theatre performances. Participating
in a range of classroom experiences and co-curricular student
productions, you develop performing skills that emerge from your
personal creativity. You experience, observe, play, reflect,
create, analyze and assess as you explore what theatre and dance
mean to you personally as well as the roles these art forms play
in various cultures.
In addition, you develop sensitivity to a range
of diverse expressions - not only in formal production contexts,
but also in informal social situations.
Career Options
In combination with a major such as business and management or
professional communication, a minor in dance/theatre is ideal if you're interested in marketing and promotion
work in the arts and in arts management.

in graduate school or a conservatory setting, you could pursue
writing, acting, directing, and design work in the theatre. With
an emphasis in dance, you could pursue further work in performance,
choreography, dance therapy, dance scholarship and criticism.
