View Course RequirementsMusical Theater Concentration The musical theatre concentration aims to develop the student’s talent and ability with the goal of helping the students discover their own unique abilities in musical theatre. A successful professional in musical theatre must possess skills in acting, voice, music, and dance, and be able to integrate these skills with ease, expressiveness, and versatility. To concentrate in musical theatre, students must elect either a music or theatre major. View Course RequirementsMinors Dance: A minor in dance is designed to give students a foundation in dance technique, composition, history, and criticism. Opportunities for advanced study off-campus are available during the junior and senior years. Course work in dance is complemented by the Providence College Dance Company, which gives advanced students the opportunity to choreograph, perform, and study with faculty and visiting artists and offers regular dance performances. Film: Film/video minors will become familiar with the basic elements of film/video appreciation and production. They will be equipped to shape their own creative impulses and to respond critically to the vast amount of work generated in this field. Students in the program will study film history, theory, criticism, and filmmaking, through academic and studio courses. Theatre: The minor in theatre, like the major, emphasizes that an artist’s insight is increased by an awareness of and sensitivity to the individual disciplines that collectively constitute theatre art and those disciplines among the liberal arts that relate to it.
