The BA in Performance Studies offers an interdisciplinary, liberal arts approach to the the study of performance. The BA provides a foundation in critical reflection, analysis, and creative practice from which students can launch a variety of careers. In the core Performance Studies courses, BA Students are immersed in performance theory, learn the craft of creating live performance, and cultivate essential research and writing skills to be successful citizens, scholars, and artists in the 21st century.<br><br>In Performance Studies, we embrace the fact that live, embodied performance provides a unique way to know and understand the world. We value and champion such repertoires of knowledge alongside the many other ways of knowing represented in institutions of higher education. Students in our BA program use performance as a method for conducting research. In every Performance Studies class, students perform: stage plays and concerts, conduct ethnographic research, make films and podcasts, or present a scholarship to varied audiences. This practice embraces the fact that a musician, an actor, a dancer, or performer of any stripe knows the world differently by virtue of their performance practice. BA students are trained to translate that knowledge into a format which can be shared widely and effectively.
