DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre & Performance


The Theater and Performance Program aims to develop innovative thinkers and artists who use great theatrical ideas from the past and present to imagine and instigate the theater of the future. Theater and performance are intrinsically collaborative art forms, and collaboration and devised theater making are at the heart of Bard’s program. The Theater and Performance Program trains well-rounded theater makers who study the history, theory, and contemporary practice of theater and performance; hone their technical abilities as writers, performers, and directors; and create their own productions and performances under the mentorship of master artists and teachers. Students are encouraged to be cross-disciplinary thinkers and makers who explore the intersection of theater and performance with dance, music, the visual arts, film, and literature, as well as with the sciences and humanities. Students work side by side with a faculty of leading professional theater and performance artists; in addition, a wide range of visiting artists from this country and abroad bring a global perspective of cutting-edge theater and performance to the Bard campus.

Gideon Lester, Tania El Khoury, Karen Hartman, Liza Dickinson, Miriam Felton-Dansky, Jack Ferver, Neil Gaiman, Lynn Hawley, Chiori Miyagawa, Lindsey J. L. Rockett, Emilio Rojas, Jonathan Rosenberg, Geoff Sobelle, Nilaja Sun, Jean Wagner
