The Yale Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies program offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary education deeply integrating theory, practice, history, and creative development across the fields of theater, dance, and performance. The curriculum emphasizes both critical and practical training, preparing students for advanced research or professional careers in the performing arts. Studies span performance techniques, the history and theory of performance, cross-disciplinary collaboration (including media arts), and original research through project-based inquiry. The program's global and interdisciplinary perspective encourages engagement with related fields such as literature, art, and anthropology. Students undertake substantial research and creative work, culminating in a major project or thesis. As of 2025, the program is newly branded as Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies, signifying this integrated, forward-looking approach. 来源： https://tdps.yale.edu/the-program
