This conference is the result of joint efforts of Columbia's Ph.D. and
M.F.A. theatre departments. The Ph.D. program, revived in 1992 by Dean
Austin Quigley, emphasizes the exchange between theatre practice and
academic scholarship. The professional theatre program at the Oscar
Hammerstein II Center, under the direction of Andrei Serban, offers
M.F.A. programs in dramaturgy, directing, acting, playwriting, and
theatre management, and produces dozens of theatre events each year,
from new play readings to third-year acting and directing thesis
productions.
AMERICAN SILENTS is an exploration of the American silent film era using
Bogart's widely-praised technique of training actors and creating
ensemble. The text is a compilation of first-hand source material on
twenty players (actors, directors, cameramen, and producers) from the
silent film period.
