Theater Design & Technology (BFA)

The best artists I have ever known are universally curious: they want to know how things work, how systems came to exist, how to make things that have never existed before. But they also thrive on generosity: they know working in theatre fundamentally requires the collaborative spirit of many. They invite and abundantly give gifts of time, of resources, of discovery, of kindness. They are generous with themselves, and with others. We can land in a place of creative joy if we lay a foundation of generosity first; I would argue it is in some ways the most necessary part of our work.
