ASU School of Film, Dance and Theatre

The ASU School of Film, Dance and Theatre is widely recognized as one of the most innovative producers of performing arts and artists in North America. The highly experienced international faculty and staff offer a broad approach to developing artists, educators and scholars who are actively engaged with the rapidly expanding range of global contexts for artistic practice; from performance to education, from community to online contexts. We recognize and value the creativity and meaning that each student brings to the program. Our Dance programs are nationally recognized as some of the best in the world, and our annual slate of guest artist faculty represents a collection of the most influential artists from the world of dance culture. The Film program combines a unique emphasis on ethical decision-making with an astounding amount of productivity, including full-length features and more than two hundred student films, web series and television pilots every year. Theatre students are provided with a bleeding-edge education in devising processes and new work creation, professional development and digital technologies for design, production and interaction.
