What it is	This program teaches you acting and performance through hands-on training in theatre. You'll spend three years developing skills in character work, movement, voice, and stagecraft through workshops, rehearsals, and productions. It suits people who want to pursue theatre professionally or seriously as performers, rather than studying drama primarily as theory or history.	Dramatic Art is the study of theatre, performance, and how drama communicates meaning to audiences. You'll learn acting, directing, script analysis, and how media shapes storytelling across different platforms. The program includes a work-integrated co-op component, so you'll spend terms working in theatres, film, or media companies alongside your coursework, giving you real production experience before you graduate.	You study acting and performance, learning technique, character work, and stagecraft through classes and frequent performances. The BFA is a specialized, more intensive degree focused entirely on theatre and performance, while the BA lets you combine acting with other university subjects. This suits people who want hands-on training in acting and are ready to spend significant time rehearsing and performing.
