Producing Culture: Arts and Audience (C061)

GEC Coordinator: Trian Nguyen

Composers, choreographers, directors, curators, and producers often interact with performing artists, studio artists, and writers in order to engage audiences. What is produced, for whom, and in support of which values? Work in this concentration considers the interrelationship between cultural producers and cultural consumers.

Complete any four credits designated with the (C061) GEC attribute from at least two departments/programs. One non-Bates credit may be applied toward the concentration if judged comparable to one of those below by the concentration coordinator and with prior approval.
