Introduction The Department of Dance and Drama is dedicated to the professions of theatre arts and dance as central concerns of a civilized society and as primary methodologies in the education of its citizenry. Small groups of teachers and students, using as a foundation artists and artworks from both past and present and from all cultures and civilizations, collaborate in rehearsals and public performances derived from the finest possible classroom experiences. Scholarly and empirical research is combined with a high level of spontaneous creativity to develop the entire spectrum of theatre and film arts. Emphasis is placed on the interaction between performing artists and appreciative spectators. Playwrights, actors, dancers, choreographers, directors, designers and technicians are taught to discover and to enhance their own creativity, to bear witness through their artistry to the richness of human life, and to make artistic performance the means of educating those present when the performance occurs. These student artists also must learn to design and manage each of the technical and administrative crafts that constitute the business of theatre arts and dance in the 20th century. Hence, a student who completes the Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Dance and Drama will be able to employ a large body of knowledge and a wide range of skills pertinent to creative executive management in business, industry, government or one of the fields traditionally associated with the fine arts: theatre, dance, education, radio, television, film, public relations, advertising and journalism. A person who can create and manage a successful theatre or dance organization can apply the same basic skills in any field. There is no technology - computers, lasers or film and video industry technology - that does not manifest itself in the crafts of theatre and dance. The Department of Dance and Drama operates several facilities designed and equipped to generate, organize and conduct research in dramatic performance. The university and studio theatres, five dance studios, rehearsal rooms, a scene shop and costume shop, the scenery and costume collection, and the department library - each facility renovated and equipped in 1986 or 1991 - represent a commitment to providing the finest possible theatre and dance education. Assistantships, scholarships and program support are available. Application to the department for financial aid can be initiated at any time, but auditions and interviews for drama scholarships ordinarily occur during the late fall or early spring immediately prior to a September commitment. Dance scholarship auditions usually are held on the fourth Saturday in January. Academic Advising Students who wish to major or minor in dance should consult an adviser in the Dance Office, Stovall Hall, Room 180, about selection of courses, a degree plan, application of transfer credit in dance, and general academic requirements, policies and procedures. The approval of the department chair is required for degree plans. Drama majors and minors ordinarily will be advised by their faculty advisers in Rooms 260E and 249 of the Speech/Drama Building. All members of the dance and drama faculty are available to help students achieve a successful enrollment at the University of North Texas and to provide guidance through their academic and professional careers.
