Congratulations to assistant professor Ariel Nereson, PhD, on the publication of her most recent book Democracy Moving: Bill T. Jones, Contemporary American Performance, and the Racial Past.
We are proud to announce that THD’s Design and Technology program has been recognized by the University Resident Theatre Association (URTA) with an institutional award for excellence.
For two months in the fall of 2021, students from the University at Buffalo, Buffalo State College, and city community artists took part in “hip-hop university”-a crash course on the history and legacy of the one of the greatest American art movements of the last fifty years.
Big dreams do come true. Congratulations to Theatre and Dance alumna NICOLE BENOIT, who made recently her Broadway debut in the New York City production of "Chicago" as leading woman Roxie Hart!
Nereson's ongoing research, supported in part by an award from The Baldy Center at University at Buffalo, aims to give insight into obscenity laws during the Progressive Era in United States history (circa 1890s-1930s), including the movies of Mae West.
