Integrating faith and the dramatic disciplines

It is difficult to imagine in 今天's media saturated, postmodern, narrative-focused culture, that one can consider him/herself adequately educated without having developed an understanding of how dramatic art works and impacts its audiences and practitioners. The dramatic arts are arguably one of the most influential modes of cultural communication 今天. We would be foolish to neglect proclaiming the Kingdom of God in this vital 市场. It is our prayer that students are prepared to humbly serve through story -- trained to be skilled theatre artists who use their God-given dramatic talents to embody His love for their neighbors --whether on campus, in the church, the local community, or the wider dramatic arts world.

"We live in a media-saturated, narrative-focused culture. 我们得去那个地方， redeeming that area of culture, because art is gorgeous and beautiful and needs to be redeemed for the sake of Christ. "
- 卡米尔·海尔萨姆 戏剧教授

The dramatic arts thrive on liberal arts education!

The renowned actress and acting teacher Uta Hagen wrote, "To be more than an adequate or serviceable actor, it takes a broad education in the liberal arts.“戏剧和 film educators generally agree: those who wish to write, produce, direct, shoot, act in or otherwise create dramatic work need a wide understanding of many facets of life 有效地创作他们的Art作品. A Covenant liberal arts education powerfully equips theatre and film graduates to work in the dramatic professions.
