About Us

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR


Greetings! 

If you are looking for a future in the arts, you have come to the right place, and we are genuinely eager to meet you.

Each member of the faculty and staff in the Department of Theatre and Dance is an expert in what they do, whether that is creating a set, choreographing a dance or coaching an actor, and we are all committed to sharing our knowledge and talent. We believe that we have a responsibility to contribute to your education and personal development in such a way that you are prepared for a bright future in the arts and related fields. 

We are ready to make your four years with us an unforgettable experience of creativity and collaboration.  

From the beginning, humans have tried to make sense of the world around them through dancing and acting and storytelling. Plants grew, skies thundered, babies were born - and humans responded to these great mysteries and the deep emotions they cause through their own acts of creation in movement and storytelling.

Humanity has undoubtedly evolved and yet we still create art to grapple with these fundamental mysteries. 

Welcome to the beginning of it all, the ancient and ever developing art of storytelling through movement, language and performance.
