Department of Theatre and Dance website.
We are located in The Freedlander Theatre and connecting Wishart
Hall. The department is home to a number of majors and faculty who are
responsible for all the stage productions each year. Please take some
time to browse around, learn about our faculty, current students,
curriculum, scholarship opportunities, or the archives dedicated to information
about past productions.
T heatre is an art
form which mirrors the human spirit through its history, literature,
criticism, theory, production, and performance. The study of theatre
involves not only the development and practice of various expressive
skills but also historical and theoretical issues. It can be studied in
the classroom, the studio, on the stage, or behind the stage. Theatre
majors, whether their special interest is acting, directing,
dance,design, playwriting, or history and criticism, are required to
take courses that examine the diverse elements contributing to an art
form that conveys the range and depth of human experience. |  |
t the College of Wooster, students explore the
art of dance within the context of a liberal arts education. Their
study of dance involves an examination of historical and theoretical
issues, not simply the development and practice of dance skills.
Students who focus on
dance in the major or minor and who participate in the
Wooster Dance Company learn to appreciate the many dimensions of
contemporary dance as an at form.
