戏剧艺术与表演研究课程采用广谱方法研究戏剧，表演的历史，理论和方法。在全球范围内提供剧院历史的严格背景的同时，我们还将表演作为一种分析工具，探索社会中的模仿活动。在表演理论，戏剧历史，文化研究，视觉研究和世界表演方面具有显着实力的一系列课程，使学生能够为其项目确定戏剧研究和表演研究的正确组合。我们提供机会在整个大学上课，并鼓励充分利用校园内和普罗维登斯州的各种资源。该系要求每个学生通过戏剧艺术和表演研究系本身的教学机会获得教学法方面的经验。具体的助教金将与学生委员会协商确定。
The Theatre Arts and Performance Studies program takes a broad-spectrum approach to the study of histories, theories, and methods of theater and performance. While offering a rigorous background in theater history in global perspective, we also use performance as an analytical tool, exploring the labor of mimesis in the social. A slate of courses with significant strength in performance theory, theater history, cultural studies, visual studies, and world performance allows students to determine the right mix of theater studies and performance studies for their projects. We offer opportunities to take classes throughout the University and encourage taking full advantage of diverse resources both on campus and in greater Providence. The Department requires that each student gain experience in pedagogy through teaching opportunities within the Theatre Arts and Performance Studies Department itself. Specific teaching assistantships will be determined in consultation with a student's committee.
