Most importantly, you will acquire the tools you need to create your own work.
The program provides training in movement and voice, improvisation, mask, ensemble work, and solo and collaborative performance creation. You will also select courses from a wide range of artistic media including video art, film, photography, painting, sculpture, installation, as well as various genres in creative writing. Courses are taught by artists and scholars from the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies who share a commitment to providing a supportive, student-centered learning environment.
The BFA in Interdisciplinary Performance will prepare you to work as an independent creative artist in the increasingly interdisciplinary and intercultural performance world. It will open up career options in areas such as applied arts, scholarly research, education and health, digital arts, curating and cultural outreach.
