The theatre, performance, and social change minor helps to prepare students for the challenges of world citizenship by developing competencies in theoretical, historical, and contextual knowledge alongside the technical skills to express their understanding of diverse social issues by making narratives, theatre, and performances. The minor’s selected courses focus on enlarging students’ ability to identify social problems; explore social movements; and make sensitive, ethical, and artistic choices in performance creation. In addition, students are encouraged to think strategically about the material realities of creating performance for social change.
