Mission Statement

Harvard's newest concentration invites students to become art makers and researchers ranging across theater, dance, and performance-based media. Using Harvard's immense resources, from the Theatre Collection to the Dance Center and the American Repertory Theater, students will learn to hone their creative instincts, work collaboratively in small groups, and participate in professional departmental productions. Our courses range from physical movement, directing and design to creative writing, aesthetics and digital humanities and emphasize the combination of theory, history and practice. Equally invested in technical skills and a broad liberal arts education, the concentration aims to launch a generation of graduates who will use their experience in storytelling, performance, and media for careers inside and outside the arts.

Farkas Hall

Farkas Hall, the ancestral home of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals and named in recognition of the generosity of alumnus Andrew L. Farkas ’82, is the new home for the concentration in Theater, Dance & Media. This historic building on Holyoke Street houses a state-of-the-art theater, a studio and large seminar room, prop and electrical shops, production offices, and TDM concentration offices.
