Learning for University Students and Faculty

In addition to public performances, we strive to facilitate meaningful engagement and interaction between visiting artists and students. This is attained through multi-day artist residencies, class visits and artist-led workshops, masterclasses, and student internships and employment opportunities.

WORDS FROM EDUCATORS
“Learning from these accomplished, brilliant artists broadens our students’ perception of what is possible. When they see what seasoned professionals can achieve, they elevate their own goals and are inspired to build new skills and learn new approaches.”
— Paulette Marty, PhD, Professor of Theatre Arts, Appalachian State University, Department of Theatre & Dance
