BU’s Theatre Arts minor is designed to provide students with a balanced and diverse theatre experience. Students choose a path of study depending on their own desire to explore the disciplines of performance, dramatic literature, or production\/design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a theatre arts minor allows opportunities to attend School of Theatre<\/a>-sponsored events including workshops, guest artists, and performances. Students have a chance to interact and experience the offerings through a rigorous training program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace your creativity and voice to inspire others.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students minoring in Theatre Arts gain skills that can be applied to their artistic goals, but can also be translated into their personal and professional life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balance the relationship between artistry and technical understanding. Locate an expressive channel to reveal one’s inner landscape; one\u2019s emotions, truth, and thoughts. Embody a creative, humanistic, imaginative, explorative, dynamic mindset. Develop the importance of the individual mindset within a collaborative communal environment. Embrace the value of process and performance in partnership. Create storytelling channels within different theatrical forms. Inhabit a confident, well-rounded, and curious sensibility. Practice empathy, active listening, and other translatable skills to utilize in all aspects of one\u2019s personal and professional life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
