program places students at the centre of their own training. Working with accomplished faculty artists and scholars, students shape their program around their creative and research interests, drawing on a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary options
from within the SCPA and across the university. Theses can take many forms, giving students broad flexibility in both form and content. Graduate students have a dedicated research space in the Doolittle Studio, along with access to rehearsal halls and modest
production resources.<o:p></o:p></p>
