Dance, music, and theatre connect. Understanding such intersections is an important part of an artist’s success. At CI, students spend valuable time developing essential skills in their chosen emphasis. Built into each program are several opportunities to collaborate, connect, and develop original works within and across art forms. These important components to each Performing Arts program hone the life skills necessary in all fields of work today. Nothing prepares you for life, like a life in Performing Arts at CI.

Careers

The Performing Arts major will prepare students for further study and for entry into the performing arts professions.
