GUEST ARTISTS

Our department places a priority on connecting with the professional arts world. We have an active field trip program in which we regualrly take students to see the most exciting work happening along the east coast. We also have an active and exciting guest artist program which brings leading artists from the world of both dance and theatre to our campus. While our audiences benefit from the performances that are always a part of these residencies, we always design visits of guest artists in such a way that contact and collaboration with our students is maximized.
