Through the lens of movement and performance making, the Interdisciplinary Dance Performance (IDP) MFA program is envisioned to provide graduate opportunities for scholarly investigation in diverse disciplines that directly link to creative practice. The program is designed to create performance practitioners who understand the intellectual ramifications of their work and scholars who understand the practical applications of their theories. That is, the research in any given discipline will be source material for the creative work and creative work will illuminate and integrate research.
In addition to the courses below, students are required to complete at least fifteen credits in their interdisciplinary area of study plus electives - chosen in consultation with and with approval of their departmental advisor - to bring number of credits up to total required for degree- 60 credit hours. Most students will take one interdisciplinary class each semester through Fall of the their third year. Schedule of course offerings below is suggested and may change.
