The Cornish Theater Department's mission is to help you to develop your own creative voice within the broad and embracing art form that is the theater, and to actively connect your work with the world around you. The Theater Department's educational tracks will ground you in a fundamental understanding of techniques that will be of use to you whether your goals are in professional theater, television, film, improvisation, or multidisciplinary experimental work.
Graduating Senior 2010
Our intent is to present you with a range of possible skills to fill your theater artist's "toolbox" while providing you with a stimulating learning environment within which you can develop a vision of yourself as an independent artist with a unique creative voices and a lucid process for approaching your work. Your education will be grounded in a dynamic relationship to the history of the craft and an awareness of the conditions of the world around you. As a Cornish Theater graduate, you should be physically and vocally flexible and powerful, critically astute, articulate, and in command of a wide variety of techniques applicable to a range of theatrical styles. In addition, you should be able to work effectively within an ensemble for a goal larger than yourself, and to present yourself and your personal artistic talents with clarity and confidence.
