Rhode Island's Dean College has a new school of performing arts, but it's not exactly what you'd expect.
The school will combine the college's theater, dance, music, and arts management programs into one unit, the Boston Globe reports.
"This unique convergence of talents is designed to provide a multifaceted, interdisciplinary approach to performing arts education, offering our students the flexibility to explore and refine their passions with professional rigor," says Jim Beauregard, who will be interim dean of the new school.
Beauregard, who has been a Dean College professor for 30 years and has directed more than 40 plays and more than 150 theater and dance productions, says the school will offer students "real-world experience through collaborative projects that involve theater productions, dance performances, and musical showcases," as well as master classes with industry experts.
Stephen Tracey-Ursprung, who will be interim assistant dean, adds, "The curriculum will feature innovative and experiential learning opportunities such as: Collaborative Productions: Real-world experience through collaborative projects that involve theater productions, dance performances, and musical showcases."
