Interdisciplinary Performance Minor
|
|
The minor consists of a minimum of 5 full courses (or the equivalent) and 1 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, but are not limited to:
- 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; and
- the relationship between mind and body.

Learning Portfolio
Return to the summary of requirements.
In addition to the above requirements, students will also develop a learning portfolio with substantive pieces of work from each of the classes taken to fulfill the minor. The learning portfolio must also include a reflection piece that explicitly connects the learning outcomes in the different courses. This reflection will be shared with the advisor (faculty liaison) and the Conservatory and College Interdivisional Curricular Committee for the purpose of assessing student learning.
