- apply a movement vocabulary from the realistic to the abstract within devised performance;
- demonstrate artistic autonomy through the construction of originally devised dramatic and post-dramatic spaces, images, and stories;
- engage successfully in the different artistic and administrative aspects of a collaborative ensemble;
- contribute scholarship to the field of devised performance through the practice-based research undertaken during the course of study;
- contribute original performance work to the theatrical culture of the communities of Chicago;
- employ entrepreneurial skills and best business practices in the promotion and marketing of original performance work; and
- articulate the transferable skills acquired during the program when considering career options within the performing arts and related disciplines such as teaching, community outreach, and arts therapies.
