Capstone Project is the culminating phase of the Capstone process required for graduation by the College of Liberal Arts yearlong. Seniors execute and thoroughly document a sustained project of their own design over the course of a semester. Projects may be connected to creative collaborative production as long as they go above and beyond basic requirements for participation. Projects may take of the form of, but are not limited to: a research paper, an internship with an arts organization, creation of an original work – play, dance, lighting, set design, sound score, etc., advanced technical position on a production, grant writing, portfolio development and presentation, educational curriculum development, film, and/or software projects.

A faculty adviser will serve as a resource to advise on the progress of the project, and evaluate its effectiveness and quality (including the quality of reflections on risky, noble failures). Ideally this will serve as the “capstone” college experience bringing together several years of coursework and productions in theatre arts and dance, and preparing you for life and work after departing the University of Minnesota.
