Boston University SUMMER THEATRE INSTITUTE 2018 WELCOME PACKET Boston University College of Fine Arts Summer Theatre Institute 855 Commonwealth Avenue, 4 th Floor Boston, MA 02215 Boston University SUMMER THEATRE INSTITUTE 2018 WELCOME PACKET Boston University College of Fine Arts Summer Theatre Institute 855 Commonwealth Avenue, 4 th Floor Boston, MA 02215 C ORE C LASSES All students participate in all classes, except where indicated otherwise. Acting: (Performance Track) A comprehensive class in the fundamentals of the actor’s craft. Students learn to warm up, follow their impulses, pursue an objective, and develop a character through scene study. Design: (Design Track) Students study collaborative theatrical design through script analysis, impulsive responses to the text, graphic communication skills, and collaboration. This course will also involve specific design and production work geared toward the mounting of the Institute’s final performances. Voice and Speech: The focus of this course is on freeing the natural instrument of the artist through an intensive vocal and physical approach. Movement: This course emphasizes connecting to imagery and impulses, risk-taking, centering, alignment, stretching, and strengthening exercises, and taking care of one's body. Topics in High Stakes Theatre This course, which varies from year to year, covers various subjects in what we refer to as “high stakes” theatre – topics have included improvisation, stage combat, and Shakespeare/classical text. Singing for Actors: (Performance Track) An approach to singing designed for the actor, this course examines pursuing an objective through song as well as breath control, resonance, articulation, and the exploration and expansion of the individual voice. The voice will also be explored through repertoire from the music theatre canon, both solo and scene work. Stagecraft: (Design Track) Students expand on their design skills through conducting specific experiments with various media to discover their storytelling properties. Boston University College of Fine Arts Summer Theatre Institute 855 Commonwealth Avenue, 4 th Floor Boston, MA 02215 Dramatic Literature: This course focuses on story structure, script and character analysis, dramaturgy, theatre history, and aesthetics. Students discuss ways to prepare for the beginning of rehearsals that allow for spontaneous play within the given circumstances of the text. Master Classes: Students will take a series of specialized topics throughout the summer. Previous master classes have included: College Audition Technique, Shakespeare, Theatre for Social Change, Directing, Playwriting, Costume Design, and Stage Management. Every student will experience all ten master classes. Collaborative Theatre Ensemble: Each student participates in an ensemble class, which will devise and rehearse an original performance piece. These projects are process-oriented ensemble pieces, geared toward empowering individual students to develop a collective artistic voice. Theatre Laboratory: Drawing on experiences from their own lives, thoughts, and dreams, students experiment with different ways of telling a story through the theatrical medium. C ORE C URRICULUM Core Texts & Artistic Muse: Each summer, BUSTI selects two core texts and an Artistic Muse. The core texts are plays that will serve as the foundation for studies in Acting and Design Classes and for discussions in Dramatic Literature. The Artistic Muse is usually an artist whose life and works will inspire the original performance pieces created in the Collaborative Theatre Ensembles. We will announce the 2018 core texts and Artistic Muse in late May 2018. Journaling: As you will be growing artistically and intellectually, you will want to reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and images. A journal will be integral to recording, processing, and remembering your discoveries throughout your time at the Institute. Journals can be simple (ie: a spiral-bound notebook) and whatever size or shape inspires you. You will receive journal prompts prior to your arrival. Core Curriculum Events: To supplement the class curriculum, students attend theatre performances and museums as well as engage in conversations with guest artists. These events may occur on evenings and/or weekends and are mandatory for students to attend. Previous core curriculum events have included: Cirque du Soleil, American Repertory Theatre, Shakespeare on the Common, Company One, MIT Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

Abraham, Executive Director Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fraternity 1011 San Jacinto, Suite 205 Austin, TX 78701 Dear Brothers, I am honored to represent the Boston University Colony of Theta Tau in presenting our petition for chapter status. Over the past year, our colony has developed as an organization that truly respects and embodies the three pillars of Theta Tau: Service, Profession, and Brotherhood. Our colony has had the privilege of interacting with the national brotherhood on several occasions. This past summer, brothers from our colony represented Boston University at Theta Tau’s Leadership Academy. Their most important takeaway from this experience was the powerful sense of brotherhood that Theta Tau fosters and practices on a national level. As a colony, we seek to emulate that connection both between brothers, and with alumni in our immediate area. At our first annual Boston Local Alumni Networking Panel, we were lucky enough to host supportive alumni living in Boston. These brothers have since remained in contact with us as a support network to aid our colony in growing and succeeding as part of Theta Tau. As a member of our colony’s founding class I have seen firsthand the success our colony has achieved this past year.
