Theatre and dance, as studied at The College of Wooster emphasizes the relationship between scholarship and artistry, investigating both the range and depth of the human experience. The theatre major, minor, and dance track curriculums offer a broad range of knowledge designed to examine acting, directing, dance, design and technology, history, literature, playwriting, and theory, focusing in each area on the importance of analyzing texts in their various modes: the written text, the body as text, and performance as text.
While the theatre or dance student may choose to specialize in one of these particular areas of the discipline for their Senior Independent Study, the departmental philosophy remains dedicated to the liberal arts belief in developing, through its curricular structure, a combination of historical and critical analysis in relationship to the study of performance, resulting in the creation of the artist/scholar. The artist/scholar model also informs the deparymental production season, and contributes to the diversity of traditional and non-canonical performances and course offerings.
