Overview

The Drama and Theatre - Performance Major is offered by Norfolk State University. However, the goal of recent years has been to eliminate constricting departmental barriers, to increase interrelationship of all creative activities, and to broaden the educational potential, while continuing the infusion of relevant technologies in hardware and software.

Key Facts

This has placed greater emphasis on a wider spectrum of courses and programs, more varied technology, and a neoteric pedagogy. The role of the creative enterprise in society is explored in special projects. All students majoring in the Fine Arts are required to maintain a professional portfolio that demonstrates their creative development. The portfolio is reviewed at scheduled intervals for advisement purposes. Participation in the “Seniors Gallery Exhibition” and other co-curricular activities scheduled by the Division of Fine Arts is required of all graduates. Continuous verifiable engagement with the local art community is required by the Division.
