Integrated and cohorted courses, so you’ll be in some classes with U.S. students and others with your designated UDayton Global cohort. Students in the Theatre, Dance, and Performance Technology Program discover who they are, affirm their values, aspire to be better, and seek solutions. Our program allows students to play "what if?" in the face of "who cares?" They engage in collaborative, creative inquiry that reminds them what it is to be human, to be flawed, to be transformed. The theatre is the site of embodied democracy, where entertainment entertains emergent ideas - because we all have stories to tell. This program provides four theoretical and practical concentrations: Acting Applied Theatre Dance Performance Technology All of these concentrations are informed by a Marianist tradition of community engagement and social justice. With co-curricular, interdisciplinary, and experiential learning at the heart of the curriculum, performers and technicians learn by doing, serving and creating. They develop their character, find their light and lead.
