Philosophy and Theater Fusion #shorts

In this reflective monologue, the speaker recounts their educational trajectory that began in a conservatory musical‑theatre program and philosophy studies, continued with intensive philosophy study while performing in Ireland, and culminated in a transfer to Bard College. At Bard, they leveraged their extensive credits to propose a self‑designed major that fused philosophical inquiry with theatrical practice. They selected a specific philosophical ideology to explore through a theatrical piece, discovering that the work was not particularly theatrical and gaining valuable insight into what does not work on stage. The narrative emphasizes the process of interdisciplinary curriculum creation, experimental performance, and the learning outcomes derived from the experiment rather than the production of a polished play.
