More than an actor

The whole performer steps onto the stage.

Students encounter the many disciplines and responsibilities that turn an idea into a shared performance.

Student agency

I can create.

Students are encouraged to initiate, lead, manage and believe that their ideas can make a difference.

Some students have gone on to create their own groups and teams; three student-created groups have emerged so far.

Peer mentoring

Each generation helps another grow.
