LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE
CURRICULUM GUIDE
Theatre
Associate in Applied Arts Degree
Curriculum Code: 0278 (Effective Fall 2003 - Summer 2008)
Theatre at LCC is designed to provide students as many opportunities to
perform as possible and to focus students towards transfer to a four-year
institution. A theatre major is part of a learning community: students take
classes concurrently and work with the same group of students for two years.
The theatre program concentrates on improvisation: Stanislavski method of
script analysis and motivation, analysis of Shakespearean text, and individual
and collaborative creativity. Graduation is dependent on successful partici-
pation in a minimum of four productions. Not all courses in this program
transfer to all colleges. Students planning to transfer should see an
academic advisor or counselor before enrolling in any course.
PREREQUISITES
Students should see Course Descriptions or Course Offerings for course
prerequisite information. See the Assessment and Placement Testing section
for skills assessment and advising information.
