Department
of Theatre offers a boutique-style graduate program in Theatre
Studies.
Internationally recognized faculty lead advanced seminars and
mentor student
research in theatre and performance studies in one of the
English-speaking
world’s most active cities for theatre and the performing arts.
We accept a
limited number of students each year to ensure small classes and
close working
relationships with faculty.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In keeping with <st1:city w:st="on">York</st1:city>'s
proud
history as a progressive, politically engaged university, our
program embraces
students who are interested in exploring the intersections of
theatre,
performance, and cultural politics, both past and present,
within <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>
and
throughout the world. Program specializations include Canadian,
First Nations
and African theatre; postcolonial theatre; performance studies;
gender and
sexuality studies; theatre and health; and theatre and social
change.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Recent courses
include: Issues in Canadian Theatre,
Theatre Laboratory, Theatricality and Anti-theatricality,
Performance and
Culture, <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Cultural
Production Workshop:
Performance-Based Practice</span>, Performing Arts and the
City, Staging the
Body in Popular Culture, Post-Colonial Perspectives on
Performance, and
Performance Art: Politics and Aesthetics.</p>

w:st="on">York</st1:city></st1:place>,
students have the opportunity to work with a professional
organization as part
of an internship program requirement. Many of these placements
lead to
continuing work with those companies and connect students to
local, national, and
international theatre communities. Internships have included
work with:
Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young Audiences, 2boys.tv, Modern
Times Theatre
Company, Obsidian Theatre Company, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre,
Mixed Company
Theatre, the Shaw Festival (Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON), the Canada

<p class="MsoNormal">Students also have opportunities to work
closely (for course
credit) with leading artists from around the world in intensive
workshop
environments. Recent guest artists include Johanna Schall, La
Pocha Nostra,
Adrian Howells, <span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic">Femi
Osofisan,<i> </i></span>and
