What is the Performing Artists Collective?
The Performing Artists Collective is an exciting and supportive community of students from around the world who are pursuing music, dance, or theater opportunities at the UO. The goal of the community is to provide you with multiple levels of performance, academic, and personal support to further enhance the top-level education you’ll receive at the University of Oregon.
Why should I choose to live in this community?
In addition to the benefits of living with colleagues who are pursuing similar degree paths, you will have access to on-site music tutors and academic advising. You will also have around-the-clock access to acoustically designed practice rooms, a dance rehearsal and performance space with sprung wood floors and full-length mirrors, as well as common community and group study spaces. It is equally important to note that your resident assistant will be someone well-acquainted with the performing arts who can be a valuable resource, especially for students in their first and second years of study.
The Performing Artists Collective will offer these amenities:
- Three music practice rooms
- Lounge with upright piano
- More access to faculty connections
- Community learning and engagement
- Multipurpose room with community study space, classroom technology, and electric keyboards
- Practice space for dancers
