Guest
Artists of the Theatre
|
| The
Theatre Program at Old Dominion University in an effort to extend
the boundaries of knowledge as it provides for the creation of new
art forms, has established a Guest Artist Residency Program to offer
our students an opportunity to work with nationally recognized working
professionals. The work that our Guest Artists create breaks through
traditional modes of theatrical performance and explores new and diverse
forms of expression. In each circumstance, student experiment and
exploration is a key ingredient to the creative endeavor and the collaborative
process of the rehearsal and performance. |
