The Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts is a broad base live performance degree, anchored on the belief that classroom study and live performance productions are of equal and complementary value.
Likened to the production of diamonds from rough carbon-based material under intense pressure over time, the SDA Theater Arts program’s mission is to produce and continue producing the next generations of brilliant live performance artists who have a well-rounded foundation and humanistic approach to whatever they do, wherever they end up in their professional and personal lives.
The term “Live Performance” is specifically used as the knowledge and skills acquired are not only applicable in the theater industry but also in video, television, film/ digital film making, photography, fashion, the corporate world, even academia. The program will prepare graduates for professional careers in a global-community that is becoming increasingly dependent on the arts and humanities for its information, cultural enlightenment, and entertainment.
The Program combines skills in theoretical understanding of the principles behind both classical and contemporary theatre genres and forms; Extensive experience in mounting and staging plays (for the Production Specialization) and performing in them (for the Performance Specialization) using both classical and contemporary plays; Knowledge of all the elements of the theatre arts (thus, Performance Specialization students are required to study the foundational concepts of acting and Production Specialization students will study the basics of production work); Knowledge of areas peripheral to the theatre arts such as marketing, running a theatre company as well as current industry practices and actual experience working with industry leading and established theatre, performing arts companies, film, television, events and advertising companies.
