Movement Materials

In order to be prepared for the movement sequence I have compiled a list of required and recommended materials that you will need during your journey in these courses. Preparation is key for any performer. This list has been compiled to ensure readiness not only for classes but also for production rehearsals and professional work. These items will serve students throughout their entire four years and potentially beyond if cared for properly. Students should make every effort to gather these materials before the first day of classes.

If financial issues arise, please contact Professor Semaj as soon as possible.
