Bachelor of Arts: Live and Screened Performance (LSP)
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Live & Screened Performance provides students with broad-based skills and performance experiences that are necessary to secure professional work in the entertainment industry as individual and collaborative artists – locally, nationally and abroad.
Students in this program will hone the craft of creating performance for theatre, screen and new media.
Productions and workshop productions, mentored by our faculty, on campus and beyond, give students the opportunity to experience diverse performance spaces as well as creative roles from writing, dramaturgy, devising and script development to acting and directing
Theatre training serves as an expansive basis for our program while additional course work specifically prepares graduates for careers in theatre, film, television, and related media.
2024/25 EVENTS BY LIVE & SCREENED PERFORMANCE STUDENTS:
Devised by ten TFTV BA students in collaboration with TFTV instructor Rick Wamer, Requiem for a Reef is a breathtaking work of physical theatre that takes aim at the repercussions of climate change on coral reefs and coastal communities.
Wamer and the students were invited by Mannakin Theater and Dance of California to devise and perform Requiem for a Reef for the 2024 edition of the International Choreographer’s Festival in Minneapolis, and for an additional performance in San Francisco at Mannakin’s home theatre in October 2024.
Devised by an ensemble of seven young artists and TFTV instructor Nikki Berger Martinez, Long-Term Delight is an unexpected mashup of love and questioning inspired by Charles Mee’s Falling and Loving.
New Directions Festival (NDF) features new student work as part of the School of Theatre, Film, & Television’s spring performance season with support and supervision from TFTV faculty. NDF is student-driven and student-produced.
