The California State University, Sacramento Department of Theatre and Dance provides
a broad and deep foundation of the theory, history, literature and practice of
theatre and dance to students who wish to pursue postgraduate studies or join
the profession. We offer an imaginative and creative program that provides the
student opportunities to grow and develop through studio and production work.
Our goal is to challenge students to be independent thinkers and make collaborative
artistic efforts that reflect a richly complex and diverse global perspective,
complimented by national and international faculty and staff experience.
Dance
Majors in the Dance program receive in-depth training in dance technique, performance,
production, choreography, theory, dance history and dance education.
Offering a comprehensive program of study, dance starts with the basic principles
of dance technique and refines them through the choreographic and theoretic
processes, culminating in the creation of full-scale concert productions. Students
in the program are involved at every level of the creative process.
Special Features
* Dance majors have the opportunity to perform as members of several dance
organizations. Company members participate in all aspects of producing and presenting
dance, from creating and performing the choreography to designing and implementing
the production and promotional aspects of the concerts. Company programs are
produced at the campus state-of-the-art dance performance studio.
* Dance majors are given the opportunity to work with professional dance companies
on the campus. Each year, at least one regional professional company is in residence
at the campus and the program invites nationally acclaimed guest artists to
provide workshops for the majors.
