About Theatre and Dance

Bucknell University

• By studying artistic forms of other cultures and exploring unique artistic visions, students can awaken and discover their own creative impulses.
• The study of theatre history, dramatic literature, performance theory, and theatrical design, along with participation in theatre and dance, gives students a deeper understanding of themselves and their world.
• Students gain exposure to a variety of artistic media and styles and art historical topics and approaches, from the traditional to the innovative.
• Each year, three major theatre productions, as well as Showcase projects and the one-act play Cocktail Theatre series, offer students opportunities to gain experience in performance, stage direction, design, and technology.
• The Bucknell Dance Company presents two major productions each year, with many of the pieces choreographed by students.
