Performing Arts Cluster
The Institute for the Performing Arts initiated this cluster in the performing arts to provide students with a survey of courses in two or more of the Performing Arts divisions: Dance, Music and/or Theatre, in order to foster performing arts appreciation and literacy. Designed for the “non-performer,” the cluster is designed for the person interested in understanding more about how to view and experience the performing arts on a deeper level as an audience member through some hands-on experience, knowledge of history and context and observation/discussion.
Students may choose 12 credits from the following, with no more than 8 credits in any single division (DAN, ENG or MUR):
- DAN 155 Movement Revolutions: A Cultural History of Social Dance
