A graduate-level exploration of music history through the lenses of migration, diaspora, and cultural hybridity, moving beyond Western-centric narratives to examine how global movement shapes musical evolution.

A graduate-level exploration of how technological advancement (from notation to algorithms) acts as a primary driver of musical aesthetics and evolution. Students analyze the reciprocal relationship between material culture and musical expression using media theory and organology.

A chronological journey through the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern eras of Western Art Music, focusing on critical listening and historical context.

A comprehensive exploration of stage management for undergraduate students, covering organizational hierarchy, documentation, rehearsal management, and technical execution. Students transition from understanding the SM role to mastery of the prompt book and cue calling.

An undergraduate-level introduction to the technical systems of theater, focusing on the physics, hardware, and creative implementation of lighting and sound design. Students progress from fundamental science to professional drafting and real-time cue execution.

A comprehensive undergraduate-level sequence on the fundamentals of theatrical scenery construction and rigging. Students progress from safety certification to constructing flats and platforms, culminating in rigging mechanics and installation/strike protocols.

A comprehensive graduate-level exploration of Documentary and Verbatim Theatre, covering ethical research, archival mining, speech editing, character synthesis, and theatrical staging. Students transition from researchers to dramatists, producing original documentary works based on real-world testimony and historical records.

An advanced playwriting sequence for graduate students focusing on the psychological architecture of dramatic characters, subtextual dialogue, and character-driven narrative structures. Students progress from deconstructing archetypes to writing a one-act draft grounded in behavioral truth and internal contradiction.

An advanced playwriting sequence for undergraduate students focusing on non-traditional structures, including non-linear time, verbatim theater, absurdism, meta-theatricality, and multimedia integration. Students will move from theoretical analysis of experimental playwrights to creating their own rule-breaking scripts.

This sequence explores the depths of character development and dialogue for undergraduate playwrights, focusing on psychological realism, objectives, voice differentiation, and the masterly use of subtext. Students progress from building internal character foundations to crafting active, subtext-rich scenes and monologues.

This sequence establishes the technical and structural foundations required for professional playwriting. Students master industry-standard formatting and deconstruct theatrical architecture using classic and contemporary models to understand how structure dictates pacing and dramatic tension.

A graduate-level sequence exploring creative movement as a rigorous Practice-as-Research (PaR) methodology. It bridges phenomenological philosophy and somatic practice to investigate academic questions through the body.

A project-based sequence for 11th-grade students focusing on the macro-level engineering of a one-act play. Students transition from deconstructing dramatic structures to drafting a complete narrative treatment, emphasizing conflict, stakes, and structural integrity.

A graduate-level exploration of music fundamentals through the lens of acoustics, psychoacoustics, and tuning systems. Students investigate the physics of sound, frequency ratios, and the historical evolution of scales from Pythagorean to Equal Temperament.

A rigorous workshop-based sequence for graduate music students exploring advanced rhythmic perception, meter architecture, asymmetrical rhythms, polyrhythms, and metric modulation. The course emphasizes both the mathematical calculation and the physical internalization of complex temporal structures.

A technical foundation for playwriting, moving from critical analysis of dramatic structure and subtext to the mastery of professional industry formatting standards and scene composition.

This project-based sequence guides students through the structural engineering of a narrative, moving from a raw premise to a developed one-act play. Students analyze the dramatic arc and apply these concepts to their own original scripts, focusing on pacing, high-stakes storytelling, and professional formatting.

A high-level playwriting sequence for 12th-grade students focused on building complex characters and writing dialogue that drives action through subtext and vocal distinctiveness.
