Foundations of Drama

The certificate program in Foundations of Drama is composed of courses that rely on experiential-based learning, intended to develop the student’s ability in a combination of acting and technical theatre. Students are able to choose courses to create a main focus on acting, a main focus on technical theatre, or to balance the two sides of these theatre disciplines.

Students who receive this 15-credit certificate will have the confidence to put the skills learned into practice in real-life settings, be it with a theatre collective, or as a skillset to be utilized by elementary or secondary school teachers.

Certificate Program Note: Students may receive only one of the Foundations of Drama certificate or the wîcêtowin Theatre certificate.
