Bachelor [Theatre and Dance] From Macalester College

Students participating in Theatre and Dance Department classes and productions encounter the rich histories, variegated literatures, contested spaces and fine skills of performance, in both local and global contexts. The curricula in Theater, Performance Studies and Dance offer students at all levels of participation ? from major or minor or in one course fulfilling the Fine Arts requirement ? the opportunity to learn performance theories and practices, and to acquire the intellectual and embodied vocabularies of performance onstage, in design labs, dance studios and classrooms.

The Theatre and Dance Department offers a major in Theatre, and a Combined Major in Theatre and Dance; both of these majors have requirements at all levels of inquiry, from beginning through advanced, and steer students toward an emphasis in the senior capstone year (acting, choreography, design, etc.) Students also can take an official minor in Theatre or Dance.
