7. Students are required to serve on two crew assignments. Crew assignments must not overlap and must differ in nature. Crew assignments are to support theatre or dance, and no two assignments are to be in the same area (i.e. scenic, lighting, costume, etc.).
8. Writing/communication requirement: Competent communication in theatre and dance is attained through the successful completion of various courses pertinent to three distinct interactive modes. Physical and oral proficiency is achieved in acting and dance courses, and practica (participation in production). Proficiency in writing is acquired in Theatre and Dance 199, 202, 237, 245, 247, 343, 345, 347. Visual communication skills are gained in design courses, directing courses, and stagecraft courses. Graduating majors must be able to communicate clearly through the medium in which they have concentrated. In addition, they should be able to describe, explain, and critique comprehensively both the artistic processes and the products of that art through means of oral and physical communication, written documentation, and visual presentation.

Performing and Applied Arts (PART) courses that have the same course numbers as Theatre and Dance courses can be used to meet these requirements. For questions about other courses, please contact your Theatre and Dance advisor or the PART chair.
