PA 100 - Introduction to Performing Arts

This course is devoted to the exploration of music, theater, and dance. We investigate interdisciplinary attributes, expressive qualities of ideas and emotions, and ways these art forms persuade and make statements. We explore technical elements of the performing arts, their structure and form as they contribute to meaning. The course also examines stylistic characteristics and defines professional terminology related to style. Students participate in interpretation and discuss artistic examples in class.
