About the Division

The Division of Performing Arts, part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, includes Arts Share, the Department of Dance, the School of Music, and the Department of Theatre Arts. The Division fosters interdisciplinary collaboration among these units, coordinates artistic and academic activities, and sponsors a full array of performances and symposia. Performances are supported by professional staff in the Division's Production Unit.

The individual units offer undergraduate and graduate courses and degree programs in performance, scholarly, creative and theoretical areas. They present an extensive schedule of dance productions, recitals, concerts, and mainstage and gallery theatre productions.

The purpose of the Division of Performing Arts is to support the mission, objective, and visibility of the Department of Dance, the School of Music, and the Department of Theatre Arts through coordinated artistic activities, academic activities, public communications and outreach, student recruitment, and fundraising.

Alan MacVey serves as Director of the Division.
