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.
