Each
of us is moved in a unique, individual way by the beauty of the artistic
expression that we see, hear or produce, but the meaning we draw from art is
shaped as well by the experiences and ideals that we share within communities.
This college will both investigate, and be invigorated by, the power of the
social act of performance. We will learn, in part by regularly becoming
performers ourselves, ways in which an artist, whether poet, dancer, actor or
musician, can clearly communicate with an audience.
