Administrative Assistant Georgann Watson 905-688-5550, extension 5255 Thistle 136D http://www.brocku.ca/dramatic_arts The Department of Dramatic Arts (DART), part of the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (SFPA), addresses the study, application and interrogation of the discipline as cultural and educational practice. The Department of Dramatic Arts offers a BA Honours in Dramatic Arts. For honours students, Concentrations are available in Applied Theatre, Drama in Education,Performance, Production and Design and Theatre Praxis. The Department also offers a four-year (20 credit) BA with Major Dramatic Arts degree and a three-year BA Pass degree. A Certificate program in Drama in Education and Society as well as Minor in Dramatic Arts are also offered for non-DART majors. Dramatic Arts offers two concurrent BA (Honours)/BEd programs over five years. See calendar entry under Education - BA (Honours)/BEd (Intermediate/Senior) and Education BA Integrated Studies (Honours) (Junior/Intermediate). All Dramatic Arts degree offerings are united under one goal: to integrate theory and practice so as to provide students with a broad educational base combining research, practice and creative development. Pedagogical practices and performance, design, and technical skills are theorized and integrated in various ways with the study of critical thinking, theatre history, dramaturgy and dramatic literature. Projects include two major productions, as well as various minor productions and events, such as the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts Showcase. The Dramatic Arts Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a four-year period. Students spend one year in an academic setting studying the fundamentals of dramatic arts prior to taking the first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Co-op students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees). Eligibility to continue is based on the student's major average and non-major average. A student with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average will be permitted to continue. A student with a major average lower than 70 percent will not be permitted to continue in the Dramatic Arts Co-op program. The Dramatic Arts Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience. |
