Student Originated Studies: Performance, Theatre, Dance and Technical Theatre offers opportunities for students to do advanced work in performance or technical theatre. Students will work independently on their own creative and research projects. This SOS will be made up of individual students and small groups that will devise projects and meet in a weekly forum. In the forum, students will present works-in-progress to get feedback and advice. The forum is intended to provide a sense of community and support to students. All other contract obligations will be worked out individually with the faculty member. Students will enroll for SOS, then design their quarter-long, contract-style work plans using input from the faculty member.

Students are encouraged to cluster together around projects that reflect their shared interests. Please note that there are opportunities for technical theatre internships. Students who are interested in technical theatre internships should discuss their interest with Walter Eugene Grodzik as soon as possible as these students must also meet with Jeremy Reynolds, technical director, for further coordination of their internships.
