Minor Requirements
MINOR IN THEATRE ARTS – REQUIREMENTS
The tracks are intended to guide a student with a substantial interest in theatre studies but unable to undertake the full major course of study. All tracks are underpinned by Theatre Arts core courses (0800 and 0810) which, respectively, introduce the student to the variety, breadth and history of theatre practice and provide a set of intellectual skills for the analysis of plays in performance.
Students electing the performance track will then proceed to undertake a range of courses imparting basic and advanced techniques in live performance, including vocal and movement skills, characterization, and stage direction. Students electing the design track will learn drafting and design skills in scenic, costume, lighting and/or sound design. Students electing the theatre history, literature, and criticism track can pursue specialized studies in various periods or themes, employing methodologies appropriate for the study of performance and performance history.
