A cornerstone of TDM’s mission is to provide concentrators and TDM students with direct exposure to leading artists in the fields of theater, dance and performance-based media. In addition to the Production Studios led by teams of professional artists, TDM hosts artist talks, workshops, class visits, small group discussions, and intimate performances. By attending these events, students learn about not only the ideas and aesthetics driving so much of contemporary performance, but also the nuts and bolts of how artists make their work and how they build careers in their respective fields.
Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA) presents Emerging Ideas on Art and Society, which invites an artist, a thinker, or a critic to come and share their doubts, questions, incomplete thoughts, and challenges about what art and society are today. A small group of students and faculty will gather to have an informal but intense conversation with the guest. While we expect active interventions, the guest leads the dramaturgy of the event with the questions they bring to the table that day.
