Stern, Shi-Hwa Wang, Yu Jane Yang;Assistant Professor: Timothy Brakel, Evelyn Harris; Instructor Specialist: Van Tinkham I he Department of Performing Arts program at Weber State is based on five primary purposes: 1) to develop aesthetically aware and artistically discriminating citizens; 2) to provide opportunities for all students to participate in creative, artistic experiences and to encourage community members to participate in the performing arts; 3) to develop artistic competence and sensitivity; 4) to provide for career development in the arts through the preparation of teachers, performing artists, scholars, and technical specialists; and 5) to expose students and community to classic and contemporary works in all genres of the performing arts and to continue to provide the finest possible performances in the arts. The department's degree programs prepare students for professional careers in teaching and performance as well as in technical specialities while providing the liberal arts background necessary for graduate study. In the department's Performing Arts Series, students and faculty participate in professionally produced dance, musical, and theatrical events. Dance area The primary goals of the Dance area of the Department of Performing Arts are: 1) To develop aesthetically aware and artistically discriminating citizens; 2) To promote cultural understanding of ourselves and others through the study of dance; 3) To encourage appreciation of dance through critical thinking. 4) To provide opportunities for students and community members to participate in a range of dance experiences; 5) To foster an understanding of and engagement in the creative process in dance performance, improvisation, choreography, teaching and collaborative endeavors; 6) To provide the guidance class work, and experience necessary to prepare teachers, performing artists, and scholars; 7) To prepare students for careers or professional schooling fields which require creativity, collaboration, and an understanding of human experience as explored in the study of dance; 8) To provide rigorous dance training. Dance majors follow a program based on growth beginning with foundational theory courses, technique courses appropriate to each dancer's ability, and a culminating senior project. Two departmental minors are offered: 1) Dance: Performance and Choreography; and 2) Dance Teaching. Dance minors follow a program which provides for study in technique, creative and theoretical coursework. A minimum of eighteen (18) credit hours (GPA of 2.25 or better) must be completed in the Dance Area courses. Dance Teaching minors must complete a minimum of eighteen (18) credit hours (GPA of 2.25 or better) from the Dance Area courses. This program is comprised of a dance teaching core (8 hours), dance history, technique in ballet and modern dance, additional dance forms and creative work. In addition, teaching minors must satisfy all requirements for the Certification Program as outlined by the College of Education (including a minimum GPA of 3.0 for admission to the Education Program). Dance teaching minors are strongly encouraged to select teaching majors in subject areas which are needed in Utah secondary schools.
