Six new minors<\/a> have been added to the growing repertoire of Texas A&M University\u2019s School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts as it approaches its second year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choreography<\/a>, dance performance<\/a>, devised theatre<\/a>, graphic design<\/a>, music technology<\/a> and studio art<\/a> will make their debuts in the fall semester. They join the established minors game design and development<\/a> and performance studies<\/a>, and the newly renamed film and media studies<\/a> minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a look at each of the six new minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choreography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creation and motion are the focus of this new minor<\/a>. It will benefit dance majors and students who will work in theater or with other events, said Carisa Armstrong, dance program director and associate professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA director often has to move people through space,\u201d she said. \u201cIt could be someone who is interested in working with the community in a broader perspective, putting together large productions that bring community members together. It\u2019s going to teach those people the tools that are necessary to move bodies through space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three levels of choreography will be taught, starting with Choreographic Principles. This covers the basic concepts and how to implement them to create phrases, and then how to build those phrases into larger works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next is Group Choreography, which focuses on moving groups of people through space \u201cin an interesting way \u2014 creating interweavings of patterns of people,\u201d Armstrong said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third level is Concert Choreography and Production, which ends with a capstone project in which students produce and choreograph their own concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re responsible for everything,\u201d Armstrong said. \u201cCreation, casting, rehearsal and all of the production elements as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dance Production course is essential for dancers and choreographers because dance is \u201ca very poorly funded art form,\u201d Armstrong said. Many dance educators from kindergarten through high school must be responsible for all elements of production, and this course will provide the background and hands-on skills needed, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance and Editing Documentation will instruct students how to capture performances on film, and also explore the promotional side of dance. Students will learn how to create materials to draw attention to their performances, Armstrong said, and learn how these materials can be used to apply for grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musicality and Movement for Performers will help students learn to create with a sound score, whether it\u2019s traditional or more abstract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though choreography has always been a part of the dance program, Armstrong said she is excited about the new minor and the additional classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, instead of it being embedded in the degree, it allows students to really focus in with this minor,\u201d she said. \u201cThose students who are really passionate about choreography can add it. We are going to encourage our education-based students to take this minor because many of them will be choreographing as part of their jobs. The more success you can have with that choreography, the better your program looks. We feel it\u2019s an essential tool for them and their career path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dance Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This minor<\/a> will not only benefit students pursuing a career in dance, but also those who enjoy the art form and want to continue exploring it through their undergraduate career, Armstrong said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have some non-majors who are just really interested in continuing to dance,\u201d she said. \u201cFor someone who is a dance major, it gives them the ability to have a focus in performance. It allows them to take more technique classes and refine their skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minor has four required courses and five elective options. These include interdisciplinary opportunities that the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts emphasizes, such as the Performance in Virtual and Augmented Realities course. As the school was developed, there was a focus on the intersection of the arts, science and technology, Armstrong said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany performers are moving into this virtual and augmented reality but don\u2019t have the necessary training in how to do that,\u201d she said. \u201cAll of our dance training focuses heavily on stage performance or site-specific-type performance. This is going to open up a digital-type performance, the quality and skill set that\u2019s necessary to work in those particular realms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Conditioning for Dancers course will help students understand how to take care of their bodies and teach the necessary exercises to \u201cmaximize their performance and minimize injury,\u201d Armstrong said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musicality and Movement for Performers aims to take a deeper look at how the two work together. Armstrong said many dancers don\u2019t have a music background or have never worked with a live accompanist or composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be teaching them what a meter is, teaching them about the values of different notes and how that impacts movement,\u201d she said. \u201cIt will also probably have a portion that is directed toward working with a composer or an accompanist, and how you have those conversations when you\u2019re from two different disciplines and basically speak two different languages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devised Theatre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The concept of collaborators building a performance from the ground up is at the heart of devised theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Dr. James R. Ball III, associate professor and assistant dean for industry and community engagement, describes it: \u201cThis is where you can get your hands dirty learning the skills involved in making theatre.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performance studies program has long incorporated devised theatre elements into its curriculum, but it will have a stronger focus with this new minor<\/a>. Devised theatre differs from the more traditional form with an emphasis on creating from scratch, without even a script as a starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt might begin with an idea, a question,\u201d Ball said. \u201cMaybe a found text or document of some sort. In some famous pieces, a current event happens, and a group of actors go to where it happened, and they start interviewing people. It\u2019s those interviews that slowly but surely become the text of the play. Or someone just has an image in their head, and they start playing with it with their collaborators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional creative workflow \u2014 in which a playwright creates a play, it gets in the hands of a director, the director assembles a cast and leads that cast through rehearsals, and then the play is performed \u2014 is transformed with devised theatre, Ball said. It \u201cdecenters the text,\u201d he said, eliminating hierarchies and allowing each element to have an equal value in the production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With devising we think instead, what happens if the writer, director, actor, scenic designer, costume designer, lighting designer all arrived in the same place at the same time and started from scratch?\u201d he said. \u201cWhat is the work of art that we create in that sense? You end up getting plays that are very different from the usual structures of a play, that are maybe a bit more design-forward, or that eschew design to explore some element of movement vocabulary or other sort of question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ball pointed to the work of Rude Mechs<\/a> in Austin and The Wooster Group<\/a> in New York City as devised examples, along with the documentary-style production \u201cThe Laramie Project.\u201d<\/a> In 2019, the performance studies program staged \u201cMr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play\u201d by Anne Washburn, a work that also began life through a devising process. It imagines a postapocalyptic future in which survivors create traveling troupes that perform episodes of classic television shows like \u201cThe Simpsons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four courses are required in the minor: Introduction to Devised Theatre, Dramaturgy, Creating Performance and Devised Theatre Studio. Nine elective options are offered, including Physical Acting, Critical Design Studies and Intermedia Performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devised theatre will align with the other minors in the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts in its interdisciplinary focus, Ball said, and it will be particularly useful to students with an interest in exploring performance, acting, directing, costume, lighting or stage design and incorporating it into other scholarly or creative works. The concepts learned will also strengthen widely applicable skills, including leadership, teamwork and team building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think to have a theatre program entirely centered on what is really the most compelling way to make work in the 21st<\/sup> century \u2014 yeah, I am there for it,\u201d Ball said. \u201cI\u2019m excited to see what our students create. I\u2019m excited to see how our students are empowered by this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve consistently had students come into the performance studies major because that conventional, playwright-driven approach to making work didn\u2019t work for them. We\u2019ve had this thread of devising in terms of practice, and they could see that\u2019s where it\u2019s exciting. That\u2019s where the cool stuff is getting made.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graphic Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This new minor<\/a> will go a long way toward satisfying a demand, according to Jill Honeycutt, lecturer in the visualization program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe saw a big need for students specifically wanting to focus on graphic design,\u201d she said. \u201cThose courses historically have been popular \u2014 they are always full.  This new minor came to fruition because of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minor has three required courses and an opportunity for three additional elective courses, including Intro to Digital Photography, Multimedia Design and Development, Color Theory and Designing for the Web (currently only offered in the fall semester).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe built the minor so students have a solid foundation of graphic design principles: layout, typography, color \u2014 all these things they will need moving forward,\u201d Honeycutt said. \u201cAnd then the electives allow them to be more specialized in a specific topic relevant to design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minor is open to all Texas A&M students, now including visualization students. Honeycutt has heard from many visualization students who are interested in pairing the Bachelor of Science degree with a graphic design minor. The courses also attract students campus-wide from communication, marketing and business, along with engineering and computer science majors. These students aren\u2019t just interested in digital tools, she said, but also the creative process and having a creative outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI often hear of students, especially with our marketing and business students, that want to work in the advertising world,\u201d she said. \u201cIt helps to be able to speak the graphic design language, even if you are not the one designing the piece or designing for clients specifically. To understand the time it takes, the skill needed, the software \u2014 all those things can be very beneficial for someone working in communication, marketing, advertising or business. You have a background that makes you more suitable for the workplace immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The student interest in graphic design and its evolution as an industry make the new minor a strong addition to the school, Honeycutt said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know the industry is big,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s growing. It\u2019s always changing. Having something that is more solidified toward graphic design helps us stay relevant and current, but also think future-forward of what is coming in the design field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This minor\u2019s<\/a> eight courses \u2014 three required and five elective options \u2014 explore technology-based live performance, fixed media art, installation art and interdisciplinary work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courses include Intermedia Performance, History of Electronic Music, Recording and the Producer and Programming for Composers. Topics incorporate composing with sound, digital audio editing, analog circuitry and equipment, building digital and hybrid instruments, artificial intelligence, feedback systems and live coding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re focusing on novel ways to use any technology to make music happen,\u201d said Professor Jeff Morris. \u201cIn a world where more and more technology is coming up, and we know less and less what to think about it and how to feel about it, what are the opportunities and concerns? The most valuable thing we can cultivate in our students is this ability to see through the front panel where the technology tells you what it\u2019s for. We can see deeper and see what it could be used for so we can get the most out of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A background in music or technology is helpful but not required. What is essential is for students to have \u201ccuriosity and bravery to encounter new things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s most important is making yourself special,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are ways to get jobs in companies or as a freelancer or serving your own projects doing audio editing, composing, performing. If you learn the same things everyone else learns regarding those things, then you\u2019re in a crowded room with no way to stand out. Our focus is making music in novel ways. You\u2019re going to learn those basic skills along the way, they\u2019re just not an end point. That\u2019s why we\u2019re focusing on making new music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The courses share many elements that align with Morris\u2019 research, which he defines as making the most of underexplored or unintended features of technology, and \u201cspecializing in using things wrong for artistic purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early feedback on the new minor has been positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents are very excited,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been very impressed with their adventurousness, and not an A-B-C approach to making music. I mean that in two ways: the notion of starting from the beginning \u2014 as if there is one \u2014 but also starting to make music without thinking in terms of notes, and just making sound that is artistically compelling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Studio Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional art courses are matched by digital offerings in the new studio art minor<\/a>. It was developed to include drawing and painting courses alongside those in digital painting, digital illustration and graphic design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps to broaden students\u2019 skill sets in both analog and digital tools, said Jill Honeycutt, lecturer in the visualization program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think being flexible is important for fine artists today, because it\u2019s not always pencil-to-paper thinking or creating,\u201d she said. \u201cA lot of artists work with digital tools and translate those into analog works of art. I think that\u2019s important for our students to keep relevant with the industry and use technology to their benefit throughout the creative process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The studio art minor has three required courses: Design I, Intro to Graphic Design and Drawing I. Studio artists need to know how to market themselves, design a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and keep a social media presence, Honeycutt said, along with having an understanding of basic fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three required electives with 11 options including Painting I and II, Sculpture, Life Drawing, Digital Painting, Color Theory, and Video and Time-Based Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis big elective pool is great, because then students can really explore a topic that interests them, whether it be Advanced Photography or Advanced Figure Drawing for Narratives and Concepts,\u201d Honeycutt said. \u201cMaybe they are really into comic books, or they want to work for Pixar and do character design. This minor allows a lot of flexibility outside of the traditional fine arts that we think about today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minor is open to visualization majors, but the courses attract students far beyond that. Students are looking for a creative outlet and a way to express themselves, which makes the studio art minor a great option, Honeycutt said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to make the arts accessible for Texas A&M, so this really opens the door for students to have an opportunity to take an art or design class, whereas those classes were limited for those outside of our school before,\u201d she said. \u201cThe interest is wide. It\u2019s a great addition to the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
