FILM STUDIES AB
We offer two Bachelor of Arts (AB) degrees - the A.B. in Theatre and the A.B. in Film Studies -as well as undergraduate minors in theatre and film studies. Both undergraduate programs are liberal arts degrees providing an exposure to several fields of knowledge in the physical, biological and social sciences, the humanities and the arts while also allowing a concentration in theatre or in film studies. More than half of our students pursue second majors or dual degrees, which is encouraged and remarkably manageable within four years.

The major in Film Studies concentrates on the history, criticism, and theory of cinema as an art form. Film Studies explores the medium's aesthetic, technological, economic, and cultural aspects. Film Studies offers students a wide range of topics, including some interdisciplinary courses with other Departments, as well as practical classes in writing for the screen, digital video production, and computer animation.

Theatre majors can pursue the general major or add an optional area of emphasis in acting, design, directing/stage management, dramatic media, dramatic writing, or theatre theory/history. They can also audition for the Musical Theatre Certificate Program in coordination with Hugh Hodgson School of Music or apply to the Double Dawg Theatre/Nonprofit Management and Leadership M.A. Program.

In addition to UGA Prospective Student Tour dates, the department offers prospective student tour/info sessions (for fall 2022, they are Oct 14 and Nov. 11) and individual prospective student tours by appointment. For more information on arranging a tour, contact Dina Canup at dinac@uga.edu .

Theater

Located on the northern edge of the Avenue of the Arts and just minutes away from the heart of Philadelphia's thriving theater community, the Department of Theater has established itself as one of the finest theater training programs in the nation. Many of our alumni are thriving as actors, directors, playwrights, designers and technicians. They are working artists with credits on stage, television and film here in Philadelphia; in major entertainment industry centers like New York City and Los Angeles; and professional theater companies all across the country and internationally.

The Professional Training Program in Theater at Temple University, which awards the Master of Fine Arts (MFA), has distinguished itself as one of the foremost theater training and performance institutions in the nation, and as an important contributor to the Philadelphia theater landscape. Our MFA actors, directors, designers, playwrights and technicians collaborate with professional faculty, staff and guest artists to train and produce exciting contemporary theater, encompassing a broad range of genres and styles, including classics, new plays and musicals, for a diverse campus and public audience. Our faculty is comprised of a collaborative team of experienced, celebrated working professionals and distinguished scholars from the theater world, who, as both teachers and mentors, generously share their consummate artistry, seasoned expertise and great passion for practicing the craft of theater.

Film and Media Arts

The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program in the Department of Film and Media Arts (FMA) is the country's foremost program in alternative film, video and new media. Temple's FMA department is internationally recognized as a center for filmmaking that is socially engaged, activist, diverse, interdisciplinary and international. With approximately 40 graduate students from diverse communities and countries, the program is large enough to offer intellectual stimulation through a wide range of courses, yet small enough to afford individual attention, maximum access to equipment, and creative control over one's own projects.

The MFA in FMA is viewed as a creative laboratory for producing works of social significance and artistic merit. We are committed to advancing methods that articulate alternative voices, including those of women; people of color; and others who have been economically, politically or artistically disenfranchised. We look for students with strong creative ideas, experiences and critical depth, no matter their background. FMA students come from all over the world, including through programs like Fulbright. Situated in Philadelphia's thriving arts scene, diverse communities and institutions, the program additionally offers students wide-ranging opportunities for collaborations and audiences.

The MFA is a terminal degree comparable to a doctoral degree, with the notable exception that the Temple program stresses a creative synthesis of both production and theory, requiring comprehensive exams and a final creative project instead of a dissertation. Students work with faculty who are international leaders in their fields with awards from Fulbright, Guggenheim, Jerome, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, Pew and Rockefeller as well as major film, art and publication credits. Temple's MFA in FMA allows filmmakers, videomakers, screenwriters and media artists to challenge the current practices of Hollywood, commercial television and global media. With a combination of academic and professional training, the degree qualifies graduates to teach on the university level.

The MFA program at Temple is one of the most recognized graduate programs in the country in terms of national and international film and video awards. Temple graduate students have received nationally competitive:

University Film and Video Association production grants,

National Endowment for the Arts media fellowships, and

Eastman Kodak Scholarships, the nation's most competitive scholarship in cinematography.

Temple graduate students have also received major recognition at:

American Film Institute FEST, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Asian American International Film Festival, Chicago International Film Festival, the Dore Schary Awards, New York Film Festival, Philadelphia Film Festival, San Francisco International Film Festival, and Sundance Film Festival, as well as

Numerous festivals across the globe in Athens, Berlin, Bonn, Dallas, Houston, London, Melbourne, Montreal and Paris.

Major professional recognition for student projects includes:

Hollywood's coveted Academy Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting,

Several Oscar nominations, and

Awards from both the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

In addition, Temple MFA productions have been picked up for distribution by such prestigious organizations as:

Coe Film Associates

Direct Cinema Limited

Museum of Modern Art

New Day Films

Women Make Movies

and for national and international broadcasts in the United States, Asia, Australia, Canada and Europe.

Welcome to TFDP!
The Department of Theatre, Film, and Digital Production is a practice-based program taught by nationally and internationally acclaimed professional practitioner-scholars.
Together, we:

Spotlight storytelling through different media - theatre, film, and digital production - to help our students understand the mechanics of narrative drama.

Empower storytellers to develop their unique voices as reflective of their social, cultural, and historical legacies.

Emphasize the analytical and practical skills our students will need to pursue their chosen career paths as actors, directors, writers, performance scholars, dramaturges, and filmmakers.

Educate researcher-practitioners who will think critically about their community, society, and world, and respond with insight and creativity to their place within it.

Black Lives Matter

The department of Theatre, Film & Digital Production at the University of California, Riverside joins the chorus of voices calling for justice for the numerous Black lives taken at the hands of law enforcement as represented by the recent killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. When those sworn to "Protect and Serve" us kill Black people, the echoes of protests from around the world resonate in a special way in Riverside. UCR sits but a few miles away from the corner of Central and Brockton avenues where 19-year-old Tyisha Miller was killed by Riverside police officers in 1998, an event that generated demonstrations, calls for change, a trial, and the usual acquittal of the officers who put 12 bullets into her unconscious body. It also led to the play Dreamscape, written by Rickerby Hinds which explored the antagonistic relationship between the police and the Black community, as well as its film adaptation My Name Is Myeisha; The Riverside Coalition for Police Accountability was also established. But the work continues. Our campus is the most diverse of the 10 University of California sister campuses and has the greatest number of Black students. Unfortunately, in spite of this reality, or perhaps because of it, our Black students find themselves dealing with issues from racial profiling by our own officers to sidelining Black voices in our syllabi, and so much more. From campus police to the classroom, from the street to stage and screen, we can do better. We will do better. But the struggle continues. We say unequivocally: Black Students Matter. Black Stories Matter. Black Lives Matter."Until justice rolls down like waters..." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Recognition of Native Lands

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the original and traditional territory of Tongva people [Tongva and Cahuilla people] and within Tongva, Cahuilla, Luiseño, and Serrano original lands and contemporary territories. In the spirit of Rupert and Jeanette Costo's founding relationship to our campus, we would like to respectfully acknowledge and recognize our responsibility to the original and current caretakers of this land, water, and air: the Cahuilla, Tongva, Luiseño, and Serrano peoples and all of their ancestors and descendants, past, present, and future. Today this meeting place is home to many Indigenous peoples from all over the world, including UCR faculty, students, and staff, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these homelands.

About Theatre and Film

As a theatre and film major at Georgetown, you can hone your craft in our dedicated black box theatre, or create an original student film. Our Maskrafters Academy allows accepted students to use film equipment for individual projects, participate in every stage show, attend workshops at the Humana Festival each spring, and intern in a related field. All Academy students will also receive $500 during their senior year to allow them to direct a play or film a movie for their senior project. With our focus on developing new work for stage and screen, we give students the chance to explore their own ideas and the tools to become content creators.

I came to college a year early, eager to get on with the rest of my life. I was from a small town and had only lived in that one place before journeying five hours away to live for the next four years. What I found at Georgetown College was a new community, one that would be woven into the fabric of my chosen family now for 32 years. I found acceptance, a chance to start to grow into my best self, a freedom to foster my own values and beliefs. It wasn't one specific quality that created this experience. It was the combination of professors, size, climate, students, staff, the curricula, the setting. Most importantly, it was the ideal intangible combination for me to thrive, for which I am forever grateful.

Letter From Chair

Welcome from the Vukovich Center for Communication Arts, which sits on land historically part of the Erie and Seneca nations, most recently the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

It is my privilege to introduce you to the Department of Communication, Film, and Theatre. We are teachers, scholars, and artists committed to exploring the impact of communication across disciplines, cultures, and communities. You can learn about recent scholarly and artistic achievements as you look at individual faculty pages.

During their time in the department, students work through a core sequence of courses in their area of primary interest. Additionally, students take elective modules that allow them to pursue their more specific interests. Much like Allegheny values interdisciplinary learning across the undergraduate experience, we encourage students to draw connections within the department - between Film, Theatre, Media, and Public Communication. This core-module approach permits students to customize their major among dozens of possible combinations.

Students value Communication, Film, and Theatre courses because they focus on active learning, diverse perspectives, and critical questions about everyday life. In every classroom, students examine a wide range of disciplines and develop tools that apply to any career path. Outside the classroom, our students work with faculty on individual and joint projects that lead to campus and conference presentations, journal articles, books, performances, documentaries, and independent films. Of equal importance are internships; recent experiences include Food and Water Watch, the Erie SeaWolves, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park, and INTAR.

One thing you will notice if you visit the Vukovich Center is that we are a noisy bunch. Learning and advising do not stop when a class or scheduled appointment ends. You will find faculty, students, and staff chatting in offices and classrooms, doorways and hallways, and in theatres and studios. I invite you to jump in.
Michael Mehler,
Professor and Chair

The Department of Theatre, Dance, and Film is committed to creating art that explores the entirety of the human experience. We are committed to building our department to "reflect the diversity of the human family" (PC Mission Statement). Our efforts to create an equitable environment in which all artists are valued will be complex, and change of this magnitude does not happen quickly. Nevertheless, we commit ourselves to consciously creating space where diverse voices and experiences are seen, heard, and validated. We commit ourselves to proactively recruiting faculty, staff, and students so that our department may more closely reflect the true diversity of the human condition. We commit ourselves to using our positions as leaders and teachers to amplify diverse voices. We hope that these actions, and more, will help us create an environment in which all feel welcome and valued, regardless of race, biological sex, religion, age, socioeconomic class, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, neurological or physical ability, or legal status.
General Mission of the Department of Theatre, Dance & Film:
The Department of Theatre, Dance and Film seeks to nurture creativity in its students through study and experiential application across three performing arts disciplines. It is our belief that the vitality of the creative act offers all students the opportunity to use imagination and artistic expression to expand abilities in analytical assessment and original thinking, for the purpose of examining the complexities of the human condition both intellectually and emotionally. The department is uniquely positioned to develop students' creative potential within the context of interdisciplinary experiences in three highly collaborative fields of artistic exploration. While the department's primary goal is to serve students who aspire to career opportunities in the performing arts, the prominent focus on creative thinking and collaborative project development fundamental to the study of art identifies these theatre, dance and film experiences as effective preparation for a wide variety of future professional opportunities. The collaboration of students, faculty and visiting artists on an annual program of creative performance projects is an integral part of the academic identity of the department. It is also intended to enrich the college community by providing opportunities for discourse on substantive issues affecting our society.
Theatre Major
Our approach to a concentration in theatre arises from the belief that, in addition to developing proficiency in a variety of theatre crafts and performance techniques, the young theatre artist must understand theatre performance as an art that exists in an historical, political, spiritual, and economic context. In keeping with the liberal arts foundation of Providence College, the program of study for the theatre major is designed to provide students with a thorough background in theatre history, theory, literature and criticism in addition to extensive studio experience in performance techniques. Consistent with the cross disciplinary composition of the Department of Theatre, Dance & Film, the theatre major may also pursue partial course work in dance and film studies in order to fulfill the requirements of the concentration. Students completing a course of studies as a theatre major will be well prepared for graduate study within the discipline or entry-level employment in professional theatre, as well as in a variety of other fields.
Theatre Minor
For the theatre minor, the core of this developmental program is a process-oriented production experience combined with interdisciplinary classroom exploration, which is the foundation of a liberal arts education. The course of study emphasizes that an artist's insights are expanded by investigation into the individual disciplines that collectively constitute theatre art. Students, therefore, are required to participate in, and come to an understanding of, the many facets of theory, performance, and production both on stage and in the classroom.
Dance Minor
The dance minor gives students a foundation in dance technique, choreography, history, and criticism. Students develop physical skills, artistic sensibility, intellectual knowledge, and creative abilities that will serve them well both inside and outside the field. The department offers both European-rooted forms (ballet, modern/contemporary) and African diasporic forms (jazz, tap), and aims to highlight the role of both artists of color and Euro-Americans in the development of dance in the United States. Course work in dance is supplemented by the department-sponsored Providence College Dance Company, which offers advanced students the opportunity to perform, choreograph, and work with faculty and guest artists. In addition, other student-led dance groups on campus offer performance opportunities for all levels of dancers in a variety of styles.
Film Minor
The film/video minor provides a structure for students to develop historical, theoretical, and technical knowledge, a sense of visual literacy, and a basis for reflecting on the aesthetic nature of film and video as both fine arts and commercial media. Students enrolled in this program will be provided with the opportunity to experience critical and creative aspects of the discipline. Academic work, including research, critiques and discussions, is complemented by opportunities to create original work such as films and scripts. The campus-wide film/video festival and other venues allow students to showcase this creative work. Internships and independent study opportunities are available to further prepare students for future academic or professional opportunities.

Musical Theatre Track at Providence College

The Musical Theatre Track is a program developed by the Department of Theatre, Dance & Film in collaboration with the Music Department to provide majors an opportunity to emphasize musical theatre experiences within the course of study leading to a degree in theatre or music. Following a highly structured curriculum, the track student studies music theory, voice, and dance, as well as core courses in acting, theatre history, literature and criticism required of all theatre majors. Additionally, students in the track program are expected to participate in specified musical theatre productions produced annually by the departments. The track offers a breadth of collaborative and individualized training opportunities in musical theatre while exposing the students to areas of specialization such as music direction, choreography, and voice production.
