Interdisciplinary Performance Minor

The minor consists of a minimum of 5 full courses (or the equivalent) and learning portfolio.

Note: Students must earn minimum grades of C- or P for all courses that apply toward the minor.

The Interdisciplinary Performance minor offers Oberlin College and Conservatory students an opportunity to explore creativity in a broad range of performance practices. Students pursuing this minor can investigate the nature of performance across the arts. The areas of inquiry this minor illuminate include: the nature of the audience and performer interaction; dynamics among performers; the creative and political opportunities afforded by various kinds of stages (from page, to proscenium, to community, to playing field); the complex interplay of improvisation, inspiration, and practice; the relationship between mind and body.

Visit the Interdisciplinary Performance webpage for more information.
