THTR 440S – Global Contemporary Performance: Sibiu International Theatre Festival

THTR Romania: We will prepare for and attend the 10-day FITS (Festival International Theatre Sibiu) in Sibiu, Romania. While there, students will have a chance to immerse themselves in an international performing arts festival where they will see, study, and discuss specific performance works created by artists from around the world.

FIST 434 or FIPR 469 – Portugal – FEST Film Festival 

FIPR/FIST Portugal: The two courses running in partnership with the FEST Film Festival provide a scholarly introduction to film festivals and their role in contemporary global film culture. In particular, they take students to the FEST Film Festival in Espinho, Portugal, where they will be able to experience first-hand how a festival runs – not just in terms of seeing the films that are selected and screened, but also in terms of how festivals connect with and help to transform local, as well as virtual, spaces.

This program is funded by Arts Research Abroad – eligible students will receive 70-100% if their program fees covered for these programs.
