The DART Invitational is part of the admissions process for students interested in entering the Department of Dramatic Arts (DART) at 全球电竞直播 . Applicants for the Dramatic Arts and BA/BEd Intermediate-Senior (Dramatic Arts) programs must register in and successfully complete the DART Invitational before an admissions decision is made.
This exciting, full day of workshops will introduce you to all of the facets of theatre study that our program offers — from drama in education and applied theatre, to production and design, to performance and theatre praxis. Whereas most drama programs ask you to prepare a classical monologue and give you a two-minute opportunity to “impress the judges,” we will be taking you through a series of workshops. This allows you to walk away with some introductory skills, an original piece of theatre you’ve created with peers and the opportunity to engage with many of our faculty, staff, current students and alumni.
How much does it cost?
The DART Invitational event has a registration fee of $80, which includes materials, snacks, refreshments and lunch. There is no cost for the Dramatic Arts Invitational Interview.
