Description
TH 477 Career Development - Theater facilitates awareness and implementation of the practical considerations and effective business practices useful in building a career in the theater. Students access and evolve their skills in collaboration, devising, improvisation, organization, and problem solving to create a sensible and actionable business plan, as well as develop the habits and skills to pursue work, initiate and maintain creative relationships, market one’s skills, and establish a sustainable career. Emphasis will be on opportunities across a breadth of platforms including work on screen as well as on stage, and application of theater skills to “soft skills” used in business. This class will also connect students with casting directors, agents, internship opportunities and other resources. The course also provides preparation and skill-building for self-production necessary for the presentation of a senior thesis production.
