Description
MFA in Dance Program at MSU Mankato
The Department of Theatre and Dance at Minnesota State University, Mankato is excited to announce the addition of the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Dance degree to our Graduate Program. We are now accepting applications for Fall 2021. This three-year program includes tracks in performance and choreography and offers teaching opportunities, as well as graduate assistantships. The program offers applicants an opportunity to choreograph and perform in annual dance concerts and theatrical productions in beautiful venues including the newly renovated 450 seat Ted Paul Theatre, the intimate Andreas black box theatre, and multiple dance studios.
Graduate students will have the opportunity to teach a variety of dance forms at multiple levels. In addition, they will be able to co-teach theory-based courses alongside of their professors through the lens of critical dance pedagogy. Thus, the program is dedicated to cultivating students' pedagogic skills along with their artistic abilities as dance artists. We are also dedicated to achieving greater racial and gender equity among students and faculty; and uprooting whiteness in dance coursework across the curriculum.
Graduate Students in the MFA Dance Program will have the opportunity to attend the annual American College Dance Association conference in the spring. Guest artists are invited into the program annually for performances of residencies.
Students are supported by 13 faculty and staff members in the department with specialties including choreography, dance performance, history, lighting, costuming, musical theatre, directing, scenic design and public relations.
