THEATER CONCENTRATION
The Performing Arts Department offers the Performing Arts and Social Justice (PASJ) major and minors in Theater, Dance, and Music. Our program offerings include different styles and approaches to making art, celebrating diversity, and creatively reflecting on important issues of our times. We encourage USF students to discover the artist-activist in themselves.
Performance opportunities are open to all USF students regardless of previous experience with performing.
ABOUT THE CONCENTRATION
Theater Concentration courses in the PASJ major builds the foundation necessary to create theater in our changing world, by providing students with technical training, room for personal exploration and artistic expression, and the social and historical context in which theater is made. San Francisco provides a unique laboratory for our students to engage with the world. The goal of the major is to develop artists who are not only technically competent and versatile, but who have also explore the conceptual, compositional and creative processes underlying theater as an artistic form.
