The assumed usage of a performing arts degree — education, then a full-time life as a performer — has never been one that was realized by many. How can we inform the way young artists are educated in the 21st century? Is the Academy the place for preparing artists to be multi-faceted? Join these artists-turned-entrepreneurs, teachers and creative professionals as they discuss the influence their experiences of higher education had — or did not have — on their ultimate life paths.

Presented in Partnership with UTAS (Undergraduate Theatre Artists Society) and Delta Chi Xi
