  • Our Program

    The Theatre Performance program at Humber reflects the global nature of our cultural world. We offer a unique physically-based training approach to the development of theatre artists. Rigorous training in devised and original theatre is supported by foundation training in classical and contemporary approaches to text. The individual creative voice is encouraged through training in devised theatre techniques in every year of the program.

    Students are taught by internationally and nationally recognized actors and actor-creators. The foundation acting curriculum includes classical, as well as contemporary acting techniques, Shakespeare, neutral mask, clown and bouffon; movement and dance; voice, speech and singing. It also includes on-camera performance; the business of acting and audition; stage combat; playwriting; puppetry and theatre history. Students work on and create original material in every year of the program. In the third year, the creative work culminates in a performance season guided by professional directors, designers, and stage managers.

    Your Career

    Your Career

    Situated in the most culturally diverse city in the world, the Theatre Performance program at Humber is uniquely positioned to prepare students for the future of theatre.

At Humber, students will develop self-motivation, self-discipline and critical thinking, as well as the entrepreneurial skills they will need to create their own unique career. Students will be prepared to move skillfully among the worlds of the professional actor: regional theatre companies, dance/theatre, film and television, and self-generated performance.

    Semester 1

    Course Code Course Name
    GNED 101 An Introduction to Arts and Science

    An Introduction to Arts and Science

    Course Code: GNED 101

    The humanities course focuses on fundamental questions individuals ask of themselves as they proceed through life. Why are we the way we are? Do we have free will or are we prisoners of our past experience or our biological inheritance? What motivates societies to change? Why do societal changes so often divide people into opposing camps? Why do so many people find contemporary life at home, at work, and in the community unfulfilling? What constitutes good government? How should injustice be fought? Can nations successfully deal with global problems? What is science and how does it differ from other kinds of inquiry? Can scientists provide solutions to the problems we face? What is art and does it offer answers of its own? What is its relationship to beauty, to knowledge, and to ethics? Is objectivity about art (or anything) possible? These questions are organized into units that begin with issues concerning the nature of the individual and then extend outward to various social, cultural and physical contexts.

    The issues explored in this course are too complex to have any one right answer. Rather, individuals must search for answers that make sense of their experiences via various theoretical perspectives. The humanities course supports this endeavour through study of different thinkers presented in the readings and exploration of different points of view explored in class discussions.
