Your name will remain on the waitlist until after the Estimated Graduation Date you enter. Permission to register (an override code) is given out after the first class (attend the section in which you wish to enroll) to the selected students. Considerations for registration overrides include graduation date, length of time on the waitlist, experience and need. Questions about the waitlist should be directed to the department via email at taps@brown.edu. You must attend the first day of class as no permission will be given during pre-registration.

This class explores basic acting/directing concepts from a variety of perspectives including the use of the actor's imagination/impulsivity in the creation of truthful, dramatic performance; the body, as a way of knowing and communicating knowledge; and the voice, as a means of discovering and revealing emotion/thought.

There is also a tech component to the course. During registration, you will be able to scroll to the document box at the bottom of this page to see the TA3 Tech Crew Guide. No prior experience is necessary.

TAPS 1341 (Introduction to Ballet) is designed for students with no prior experience, but can also be taken by dancers who wish to review ballet fundamentals.
