Duke’s Theater Studies BS merges classical training with immersive technologies and social-justice dramaturgy. Acting studios explore biomechanics and devised theater, while design labs prototype holographic scenery and AR surtitles. Partnerships with the Nasher Museum turn galleries into site-specific stages, and residencies with global ensembles critique colonial performance histories. Seniors mount festival-ready productions supported by Duke’s state-of-the-art LED volume wall and motion-capture rig.
