Overview
We recognize that students may be interested in specific disciplines, so the performing arts major has three tracks — dance, music and theatre. We also offer minors in dance, music, musical theatre and theatre.
What is distinctive about studying the performing arts at Sweet Briar?
- For more than 40 years, thr Music major at Sweet Briar College has drawn on traditional and contemporary dance techniques — including aerial — combined with intensive training in choreography.
- The culminating capstone dance project lets students choreograph, produce and perform a full-length concert for the community — an experience students at large universities often do not encounter until graduate school.
- Music faculty believe proficiency in musicology and performance are equally important, so the curriculum balances historical/cultural, theoretical/analytical and applied (solo and ensemble) studies.
- Students interested in teaching can choose a track toward teacher licensure in dance or theatre arts.
- Sweet Briar Theatre produces works from all genres, including musicals, Shakespeare and contemporary plays. Murchison Lane Auditorium is a fine proscenium theater for large musicals and productions, while our Studio Theatre is perfect for small, intimate performances.
