Overview

The Dance - Theatre program at the Reed College allows students to elect one of several emphases: performance, choreography, directing, dramaturgy, or historical and theoretical research, with or without a performance component. The student should consult with an adviser in each department as soon as possible.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Dance - Theatre major, students will have demonstrated that they are able to:

Engage in close analysis of dance practices. Students will be able to describe movement effectively; address the conceptual, thematic, and formal concerns of dance practices; connect dance practices to broader historical/cultural contexts; and analyze intersections with issues of nation, interculturalism, race, gender, class, politics, sexuality, and ability.
Engage in close analysis of theatre and performance, including close reading of a play or performance text, the analysis of a play or performance text in its historical and cultural context, and a dramaturgical analysis.
Execute and present sustained creative and/or scholarly research projects.
