MFA Theatre Technology Candidates FALL 2022

The Indiana University Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance
is seeking applicants for its three-year MFA theatre technology program
beginning August 2022. The theatre technology program at Indiana University
aims to graduate highly competent technical directors who are equipped for
successful careers in the innovative discipline of theatre technology. The
program offers individualized instruction, one-on-one mentoring, and
personalized guidance. The program emphasizes key themes to foster success.

• Problem-solving and management skills through courses in technical
management, structural design and analysis, and construction and production
management.
• Communication skills through a positive collaborative environment in
courses and stage productions, and through technical writing and training
to gain computer-aided drafting skills.
• Modern technology and industry trends through courses in electronics and
controls for theatre, mechanical scenery, and theatrical and arena rigging.
• Technical research that studies perennial scenery challenges, and
solutions, to nurture new ideas and an innovative spirit of technical
direction and production.
• Our program presents you with a blend of modern skills and design
sensibilities, preparing you to be creative collaborators involved in all
phases of the conceptualization and production of technical designs for a
wide range of careers.

Theatre Technology students are assigned as production technical directors
on four to five productions during their three-year program of study. You
also receive production experience by serving in other roles: as the
assistant technical director, master carpenter, properties master, and
scenery technologist on stage productions.

Numerous opportunities exist to design complex mechanical and automated
effects as well as to work with the IATSE staff of the IU Auditorium while
being exposed to touring productions. Summer production experience is
available at Indiana University Summer Theatre, our professional summer
theatre.

MFA candidates receive a graduate assistantship during the three years of
study which includes a stipend of at least $16,000 per year, full tuition
waiver, partial fee remission, and health insurance including dental. For
