Program Total Credits: 124
.jpg) The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Theater Design and Technology provides education and broad training in the full range of theatrical design and technical areas followed by more concentrated study and practical work in a chosen area of focus. The program foundation includes art history, theater history, theater studies and script analysis, fine arts classes, and a sampling of acting, stage management, and directing classes. Students are exposed to each of the five core areas: Technical Direction, Set, Costume, Lighting, and Sound Design.
The choice of focus area affects the production work assignments given and the coursework taken, in the third and fourth years. Upper-level studies include: Realized designs or technical direction assignments; a significant professional-theater internship; and the development of professional-grade display and interview portfolio. Students design for all Brind School production levels, including the main stage. Students frequently work alongside faculty and guest professional artists on productions. Students completing this program are prepared to enter the theater industry or to pursue further studies at the graduate level.
