Combining spiritual and theoretical understanding with practical expertise, faculty members, together with influential Christian artists from around the world, take each student from his or her ability level and help develop a whole range of new skills. This exciting climate creates an environment for creativity. This five-month course is a general introduction to theater arts, music, dance, and a biblical perspective of the arts.
