All Theater majors and modified Theater majors must complete a Culminating
Experience in Theater. (Theater minors, and other majors modifying with Theater
will complete their Culminating Experience in their primary departments. Double
majors must complete Culminating Experiences in both majors.) Normally the
Culminating Experience is undertaken during the senior year.
In Theater, the Culminating Experience has two
components
1) Participation in Theater 90: The Senior
Seminar. All seniors are required to attend the Senior Seminar. The
Seminar will meet once a week and will consist of visits by guest artists and
critics, discussion and development of student culminating project proposals,
critiques of student work, and, where practical, trips to theaters and other
locations of interest to the seminar.
2) Culminating Activity: The culminating
activity is a collaborative project (s) involving all senior majors presented
in the spring term of the senior year. The project(s) will consist of a major
piece of work in the area of each student’s concentration or primary interest,
such as acting, directing, dance, design, technical production, costume
production, stage management, playwriting, theater history, dramatic criticism,
etc.
Majors are urged to plan ahead and to discuss their
areas of anticipated concentration with the Department Chair and potential
faculty advisors in advance. The culminating experience project(s) will be
discussed and developed in Theater 90: The Senior Seminar. Senior majors will
submit a proposal(s) for the culminating project(s) in week 5 of the winter
term. The faculty will approve the culminating project(s) by the end of winter
term.
The culminating experience requirements may also be
fulfilled through the Honors Program (as currently described in the ORC).Majors
are urged to plan ahead, and to discuss their plans with the Department Chair
and potential faculty advisors in advance, preferably by the end of the junior
year.
