In addition to the traditional theater major, the department recently designed multiple tracks to cater to a wide range of interests within the discipline, from performance to technology. The university will also offer a theater arts minor, allowing students to choose between broad exposure to all aspects of theater or the ability to focus on one of the specific tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tosha Fowler, director of the theater program and the Lucille C. Little Endowed Chair in Theater, was inspired to create the new majors after noticing the varied career paths Transylvania theater majors embarked upon after graduation. \u201cI wanted to be intentional about creating a theater program for all,\u201d she said, adding that she wanted the majors to allow students to \u201cbecome that fully realized, best version of themselves.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three options include theater arts, theater design and technology, and theater performance. All of the tracks share several courses, including Technical Theater, Directing Fundamentals and Theatre: A Global Perspective, as well as practicum work. The differentiating courses help students hone the skills they need to be strong candidates in today\u2019s job market, whether they are seeking a job on stage or behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theater arts \u2014 the \u201ctraditional\u201d track \u2014 is flexibly designed to be easily completed as a second major.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have so many students who participate in the theater program, and a lot of them express the desire to double-major,\u201d Fowler said. \u201cWhat makes the theater arts degree great is that it removes a lot of the barriers that were there before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining tracks appeal to students who have a specific career goal in mind. Theater design and technology is ideal for students seeking exposure to production elements, including set design, lighting, projection, props, sound, costuming, hair and makeup, and special effects, while theater performance focuses on acting, directing, playwriting and dramaturgy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both theater design and technology and theater performance were modeled after the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree common in a conservatory setting. \u201cWhile we want students to get a broad range of education and skill sets, we also want them to have some sort of specialty so they feel confident when they step into their chosen career path,\u201d Fowler said, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s the same type of diverse, yet specific professional training that you would get in a BFA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theater majors develop their transferable skills through discrete projects, from staging a production to writing a script. The project-based courses can then be translated into a resume, giving students an advantage in the job market. Students with a major or minor in theater \u201cknow how to communicate, they are creative, they are collaborative,\u201d Fowler said. \u201cAll of our students who have wanted to work in the industry are working in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within all three majors, there is also flexibility to focus on other employable aspects of the field, such as drama therapy, theater education, and technology and design in the greater media and entertainment industry. The tracks are also deliberately designed to allow students to explore their interests for the first two years of their degree before settling on a final pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the new majors offer a bounty of opportunities for students who know they want a career in the arts, Fowler is committed to ensuring that the department as a whole is a welcoming environment aligned with the university\u2019s liberal arts mission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was really intentional about seeing how the theater program could serve every single student at this school,\u201d she said, noting that the soft skills developed in performance-based classes are easily transferable to a wealth of professional environments. \u201cIf you\u2019re taking any kind of performance-based class at all, you\u2019re going to learn how to perform on Zoom, because all of your first interviews are going to be on there,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone needs storytelling skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program also aims to be a hub of excellence in central Kentucky. Fowler cited the recent staging of \u201cAngels in America: Millennium Approaches\u201d as an example of her overarching mission, noting that she is committed to \u201cfinding the unique stories that Transy can tell well in collaboration with our students to make Transy a cultural hub for the region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transylvania students will be able to
