Theatre and Drama Studies - Specialist (Arts)

Theatre and Drama Studies - Specialist (Arts)

Description:

The study of Theatre, Drama and Performance examines the relationship between the artists who create written texts intended for production, the artists who turn scripts into performances, and the audiences who experience the resulting theatrical event. It is the study of the event itself and the acts of creation involved in producing that event. Theatre, Drama and Performance involves the study of plays, actors, directors, theatres, designers, and audiences from the classical stage to contemporary plays and performances from around the world.

The focus of Theatre, Drama and Performance Studies at U of T Mississauga, both curricular and extra-curricular, is the Erindale Studio Theatre and the Multi-Media Studio Theatre in the CCT Building (or MiST). The Erindale Studio Theatre is used for performances of Theatre Erindale, the production company of the Specialist Program, and for performances of the English and Drama Student Society (EDSS). MiST is used for teaching and co-curricular and extra-curricular performances by all programs. We also have several rehearsal halls in Deerfield Hall that are used for classes, performances, and other program activities.

Courses in related topics are given in many disciplines. A list of these courses is given in the general notes for All Programs below and students interested in the field are advised to consider taking some of them.

No more than 1.5 credits can be double counted towards two programs of study in English, Drama, or Creative Writing.

==

The Specialist Honours Program in Theatre & Drama Studies, offered jointly with Sheridan College, involves the study of plays, actors, theatres, designers and audiences from the classical stage to contemporary plays and performances from around the world. We give students the opportunity to earn a two-year (equivalent) conservatory diploma in professional actor training from Sheridan within a Specialist degree in performance history and theory and dramatic literature from U of T Mississauga. This high-powered combined program prepares students for a career on the stage or behind the scenes in the professional theatre world, or for drama teaching at the high school or university level.
