Out of Control is the theme of the fall dance concert, with choreography by dance program faculty and guest artist Ashlee Ratigan. How does a restriction or limitation encourage creativity? What happens when the creative process is reversed or altered in such a way that it generates a challenge to all artists involved in the process? How do dancers and even audience members affect the final product? This concert promises to be an exciting and entertaining venture into creating and viewing dance.
College of Charleston Department of Theatre and Dance
The College of Charleston Department of Theatre and Dance consists of over twenty faculty members who teach a range of courses in the arts of Theatre and Dance and create a series of public performances for the Charleston community. Our Department is one of a select number in the U.S. accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre. Each academic year there are typically four to five plays presented by the Department in the Emmett Robinson Theatre. The Emmett Robinson Theatre, named after a man who both studied and taught at the College and who was instrumental in bringing the Theatre Arts into this campus, was built in 1979, seats approximately 310 people, and has been an accommodating venue for plays of widely varied requirements. Over the years this stage has been the platform on which daring, provocative, and intelligent plays have served to enhance the profile of this Department both regionally and beyond.
