Program Details

Theatre and Development School: Concordia University Faculty: Faculty of Fine Arts Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Drama and Dramatics/Theatre Arts, General Description: The Specialization in Theatre and Development (TDEV) focuses on the history, theory, and practice of drama and theatre from the perspective of art's capacity to inform and effect social change. Specific applications such as developmental drama, drama in education, and drama therapy are examined for their educational, therapeutic, and rehabilitative efficacy. On a broader social level, the program is concerned with points of intersection between traditional theatre and popular forms such as: collective and collaborative approaches to play-building; theatrical events specifically created by, for, and about particular communities or populations; and political or educational theatre which is either overtly interventionist or educational in intent. The program is vitally concerned with developing group skills and leadership, and preparing students to assume entrepreneurial roles within the Canadian theatre milieu. Students have access to a wide range of practical classes in areas such as acting, design, playwriting, production and administration. In the upper levels, tdev supports fieldwork in areas of personal specialization such as working in schools, working with populations with special needs, developing large-scale community arts projects, and apprenticeships with community-based theatre companies.
