The following requirements are in addition to, or further elaborate upon, those requirements outlined in the Student Services section of this Web site.

A minimum of four courses constitute the cluster requirements. Cluster students will take one or both methodology courses offered by the collaborating programs:

• Theatre and Drama 501 Research Methods
• Performance Studies 516-1 Critical Performance Ethnography (Theory)

In some cases, both classes will be relevant but in other cases only one.  In addition, students will choose two or more classes from a menu of offerings (this list would be refined annually depending upon staffing) including:

• Performance Studies 414 History of Performance Traditions
• Performance Studies 416 Performance and Cultural Studies
• Performance Studies 427 Modes of Representation
• Theatre and Drama 502 Topics in Theatre
• Theatre and Drama 503 Interdisciplinary Studies in Theatre and Performance
• Performance Studies 516-2 Critical Performance Ethnography (Methods)

The list of applicable course will vary from year to year and will often include classes taught under the auspices of English, Gender Studies, African American Studies, Theatre, and Comparative Literary Studies.
