THEA 241 - Emergency Preparedness and Management in the Performing Arts

FC ARHU

4 credits
The frequency of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, data breaches, and other global events that are beyond the ability of performing arts organizations and performers to control, combined with the numerous daily situations that we, in our inherently dangerous industry, find ourselves in, demands that emergency plans, hazard assessments, proper and specific training, and mitigation protocols be developed and routinely updated for all areas of the performing arts. This course provides an overview of actions and reactions to disasters, emergencies and accidents, as well as a customized planning approach for arts managers and artists in preparing for those situations. Field trip(s) required.

This course is appropriate for new students.
