Key Experiences learning outside the classroom
students learning transferable skills through midlandu arts
Students who participate in the Arts at Midland University have the opportunity to learn anything and everything, whether on stage, behind the scenes, dancing, playing an instrument, or singing in one of the various music groups.
Among those experiences is the opportunity to direct a student-led show during an Evening of One Acts, which takes place each November. Students in Directing 1, a course where they learn the collaborative art of directing live performances, direct the performances. The course is open to students of any grade level, and students who are not in the Directing 1 class can still participate in the production as cast or crew members.
Skills attained in these student-driven performances translate into real-world situations, preparing students to be leaders no matter what vocation they choose. “It’s important to see our students take the reins,” Kreikemeier said. “Whatever experience they can gain by being in the driver’s seat will set them up for success in whatever they do, whether that’s in the Arts or something else.”
Students are getting the full experience with MidlandUArts, and Kreikemeier believes that is a massive benefit to their time at Midland. “Allowing them to work in every area of the Arts makes for well-rounded individuals,” he said. “They are developing transferable skills that will help them no matter what they choose to do.”
