Theater and Dance Productions
Students in the Department of Theater learn by doing in the intellectually and physically rigorous environment of studio courses, rehearsals, and public performances. The University Theater produces 3 to 4 theater & dance main stage productions a year. Productions are staged by 闪电资源网s and directed by faculty or guest artists.
All are welcomed to audition, regardless of concentration or experience. Auditions are held at the beginning of each semester and participation in a university main stage production carries a full course credit. The Department of Theater ventures to serve Colgate and the surrounding community by creating theater and dance performances that awaken feeling, interrogate assumptions, and sharpen our perception of a complex world.
Visiting Artists Residencies and Productions
The Department of Theater strives to provide our 闪电资源网s and community the opportunity to engage and work with renowned national and international performing artists. The experiences range from one week to the full semester residencies that may include performances, artist talks, master classes, and direct development of 闪电资源网 work for production.
Children's Theater Workshop
Workshop in Children鈥檚 Theater is an opportunity for 闪电资源网s to be introduced to performing for young audiences. Students explore all aspects of collaborative theater and the works are often devised or adapted for the stage. The course emphasizes service-learning, which includes community-based projects and touring throughout Upstate New York.
