The First Year Showcase is a short, immersive, welcoming process for incoming first year and transfer students. Working with upper-level students and faculty mentors, students create a collaborative, site-specific promenade performance. Participants work together to frame how we look at architecture and our environment through movement and performance. The 2026 performance, "Magic Carpet," will specifically work to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and crossover between theatre and dance to form a new artistic community. This production incorporates anyone who is interested in majoring or minoring in any of the six-degree concentrations within the department.
