Department of Drama: Studio Swap
February 24, 2016
CLOSED EVENT
The Studio Swap celebrates the diversity of training options in the Department of Drama. It is an opportunity for our students to come together as a community of emerging artists, and learn--in a single day--about the methodologies and histories that make us who we are.
The day begins with a panel discussion in which advanced students from each of our ten studios discuss what makes their studio distinctive. Advisors will be present (but not faculty or studio heads) to help facilitate a free and open discussion.
Following the morning panel, all of the studios will open their doors to the entire Drama Community. The studios will schedule four 90-minute sessions during the course of the day designed to offer a sense of the studio's ethos and/or training. This can range from a drop-in class, to a class observation, to a tour of the facilities. Through an on-line sign up system, students will select up to four sessions to attend, with ample travel time between sessions. They will be given a Drama Passport which will be stamped at each Studio. At the end of the day, students will have had multiple opportunities to join with students from several different studios to learn more about each other. This is a CLOSED event.
