Students with a focus in Theater take Voice and Acting at our Trinity\/La MaMa studio, while students with a focus in Dance get the opportunity to choose from a wide array of classes at dance studios all across the city. Some examples of studios are: Gibney Dance, Alvin Ailey, Movement Research and Mark Morris Dance Group.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Workshops and lectures by exciting working artists. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Workshops range in length and cover a wide variety of styles, genres, and approaches to the creative process. There are three week-long blocks with a special focus, as well as weekly shorter workshops with a large number of renowned New York based artists. Students get the chance to encounter new areas of performing arts and explore different art forms. Examples of workshops are Viewpoints, Tectonic Theater\u2019s Moment Work, Puppetry, Choreography, Site Specific Performance and Clowning \u2013 just to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Field study. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Twice a week, students get to intern with an arts organization of their choice. Each student is placed with an organization that matches their individual interest and focus. This part of the curriculum provides first-hand experience in the realities of making art in New York City and students get to network and make invaluable connections for the future. Examples of Fieldstudy placements are La MaMa Experimental Theater Club, Ping Chong and Company, Upright Citizens Brigade, Tectonic Theater, Danspace, BAAD \u2013 Bronx Academy of Art and Dance, Arttherapy Project, The Kitchen, and Dixon Place.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Attending Performances and Integrating Seminar. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the semester students attend three to five shows a week, for a total of around fifty performances throughout the semester. This covers an extensive scope of styles and types of performance as well as a large range of levels of production values. Students are exposed to new and exciting types of work and familiarize themselves with venues all across the boroughs of New York. Examples range from Broadway to Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Chocolate Factory, Dixon Place, WOW Caf\u00e9, outdoor performances in parks to the Metropolitan Opera and Judson Church. <\/span>Accompanying this aspect of the curriculum is an academic seminar with, readings that provide context and historical perspective, discussions about the performances, and lectures by guest artists. The price of the tickets is included in the program fees.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Creating Work. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once a week during \u201cMonday Night Lab\u201d students devise and show original pieces. This is a chance to experiment and explore different ways of working in a non-judgmental atmosphere. Students collaborate and assist each other and practice how to give constructive feed-back. This culminates in a show at the end of the semester with performances at Trinity College and at La MaMa ETC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Students earn a full semester of undergraduate or graduate credit: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Five academic credits distributed in two 2-credit courses and one 1-credit course. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Majors in the Department of Theater and Dance at Trinity College can count three credits toward the major, in consultation with their academic advisor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong>Visiting Student Note:<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Visiting students please note that 1 Trinity credit = 3.5 semester hours.
