Brown University/Trinity Rep MFA Programs
The Brown University/Trinity Rep M.F.A. programs combine in-depth
classroom work and an ongoing relationship to a working professional
theatre. Brown University's Department of Theatre Arts and Performance
Studies is internationally recognized for the quality of its faculty and
instruction. Trinity Rep, with its deep tradition of resident artists,
provides powerful artistic assets and creates a firm foundation of
real-world experience. Together, the two organizations have produced a
model of theatre training that is rigorous and technically demanding,
without intellectual or creative limitations.
Brown/Trinity includes the M.F.A. programs in Acting and Directing.
Students in each of the disciplines have many opportunities to study
and work with fellow students from other areas, including the M.F.A.
playwrights and the Ph.D. students in Brown's Department of Theatre Arts
and Performance Studies. Through directly experiencing the techniques
and processes involved in each discipline, students are encouraged to
become true collaborators, and to break down the often artificial
barriers that have traditionally separated actors, directors, and
playwrights.
The primary focus in the acting training is in developing
technically skilled, versatile actors capable of working in the variety
of styles demanded by contemporary theatre. Directors are given the
opportunity to develop their own vision, working in collaboration with
actors, creating new work and rediscovering existing texts.
The M.F.A. curriculum provides a rigorous training program taught
by a resident faculty, supplemented by guest artists from the
professional and academic arenas.
