2015-16 Annual Report 2015-16 ANNUAL REPORT The School of Theatre & Music (STM) provides innovative, rigorous, and comprehensive academic and performance programs as part of our diverse, urban context. Our programs develop practical knowledge, cultural sensitivity, intellectual resourcefulness, and imaginative daring in emerging artists and scholars. We connect students to Chicago’s abundant, vibrant theatre culture and to the city’s dynamic jazz and classical music networks. “Our third year as the School of Theatre and Music was a time of important growth. We welcomed new faculty and a record number of students from diverse backgrounds. We rolled out a new Music Business degree, two completely reimagined theatre degrees including a BA in Theatre and Peformance and a BA in Theatre Design, Production, and Technology, and an international exchange program with Eolia Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Barcelona, Spain. Finally, faculty took advantage of their professional networks to provide students with opportunities to complement coursework with internships, practicums and artistic exchange. Current students, alumni, and supporters are increasingly aware that something great is happening in Theatre and Music at UIC. ” - Christine Mary Dunford Director OUR STUDENTS 90 Music Majors 129 Theatre Majors 25 Music Minors 7 Theatre Minors STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS White/ Non-Hispanic (39%) Hispanic or Latino (24%) Black/ Non-Hispanic (23%) Multirace (10%) Asian/ Pacific Islander (4%) 2016 APPLICANTS 343 Applications % 22 US States 27 8 Countries CLASS OF 2016 34 Graduating Seniors GRADUATING STUDENT DEGREES BFA Theatre (12) BA Theatre (9) BMus Performance (6) BMus Jazz Studies (4) BA Theatre Design (2) BA Music (1) NON-MAJOR PARTICIPATION Over 2,700 students from 66 majors 69% of the performers in STM music across campus took a theatre or music ensembles were non-majors. general education (gen ed) course.

FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world.
