Department Vision

The BFA in Performance is a stimulating and innovative interdisciplinary training program offering a unique curriculum combining the rigor of conservatory style training with the rich, experiential and intellectual traditions of contemplative education. Students explore techniques inspired by the last fifty years of experimental performance training, integrating dance, acting and vocal work. The program prepares students to create original work while thoroughly acquainting them with the contemporary performance field. Upon graduation students will be prepared to pursue advanced studies in performance, join existing companies with an interdisciplinary focus or create their own work.
