About the Department

The Department of Dance and Drama offers two majors-dance and theatre-and a minor in dance.

In the department, eight faculty members teach almost three dozen courses in dance and drama yearly. (The average class size is about 20.) Courses focus on the way artists collaborate to bring drama, dance, and film to life in performance, and all involve reading and critical writing. For dance and drama majors, the capstone Senior Exercise involves a project, an oral discussion of the project, and a written examination. More about the academic programs ...
