Fine Arts | 2014-15

Friends UniversityMissionWe are informed by the Quaker heritage of Friends University. We also are rooted both in the liberal arts tradition and in the Christian intellectual tradition. Because of these roots, we insist that our students learn, inside and outside the classroom, to integrate their intellectual lives with their social and spiritual lives in ways that will improve the world. In doing our work authentically, we prepare our students to adapt to change and to make a difference.

Values• We believe that the underlying mission of all higher education is the search for truth. Grounded in the Christian intellectual tradition and our Quaker heritage, we affirm that truth is of and from God, and that our search is lifelong.

• We insist that the search for truth be characterized by excellence and informed by integrity. Excellence demands that our best is always becoming better, and integrity means that we are honest with ourselves and with others. In our practice of excellence and integrity, we each take responsibility for what we do and say.

• As searchers and learners, we support curiosity and research, and assign great value to diversity of experience. As people who value such diversity and openness, we approach new situations and people with good will and humility. We believe in equity and in the dignity of all people.

• As a community, we accept and cherish our responsibility to care for one another in our learning and working relationships. We understand that a part of that care must be to become better stewards of what we have been given. We take care of the future as if we already are there.

VisionFriends University will become a regional university with national programs and an international presence.

College of Business, Arts, Sciences and EducationThe College of Business, Arts, Sciences and Education offers students a traditional college experience with liberal arts and professional programs that represent a broad range of academic majors.

The Fine Arts Division exists for the creation and study of the arts. We provide students educational and creative experiences that integrate professional artistic standards with the academic inquiry of the liberal arts and Christian intellectual traditions. Students and faculty develop their craft and vocation while engaging audiences and serving the community. Dedicated faculty guide instruction in a comprehensive undergraduate curriculum, mentoring students to experience the transforming power of the arts and to excel in their profession.

Fine Arts Guest ArtistsWe bring a variety of guest musicians, choreographers and artists to work and perform with our students and faculty. The Ballet program has brought dancers from the New York City Ballet and the Houston Ballet, as well as guest choreographers like Nick Blaylock and Dominic Walsh. Some of the jazz guest performers have included The New York Voices, Matt Wilson, Bobby Watson, and the Count Basie Orchestra. We host guest artists like Steven T. Johnson on our campus and invite local and regional artists to exhibit their work in our art galleries. Conductors such as Dr. Joshua Habermann and Elena Sharkova have worked with our choral students. Our instrumental students have been able to work with conductors-in-residence such as Robert Sheldon and Sean O’Louglin. A commitment to invite guest artists to campus exposes our students and faculty to creativity and innovation that is occurring in the Arts today. It also serves as a valuable source of inspiration and a model for student success in the Arts.

Excellence in the Fine Arts

The Wakefield Mysteries, 2014

Singing Quaker Tour, 2014

Concert Band Concert, 2013“I love the many Fine Arts opportunities and scholarships that Friends offers to all students no matter what their major is. Thanks to the Fine Arts staffs’ wonderful work in carefully scheduling events, students can be involved in a wide variety of activities. I’ve been able to be involved in theatre, choir, piano performance and accompaniment, vocal jazz, and even a little percussion performance. Some of my favorite aspects of Friends’ Fine Arts are its fabulous choral program along with our highly respected jazz and ballet programs. Most importantly, all of the professors are fully invested in sharing the beauty of music, dance, art and theatre with their students - their passion is inspirational!”— Amy Shelden, English literature major

You can see yourself grow a lot throughout the year musically, but the greatest thing about Fine Arts here at Friends is being part of a giant, loving, crazy musical family.” — Kelli Henderson, marketing major with a

BalletThe Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet degree is designed to foster excellence in preparation for a professional career in the world of ballet with opportunities for additional studies in teaching, administration and therapy. Each ballet degree plan can be uniquely designed for individual students depending on interest, ability and goals. A dance minor is offered for students seeking a major in another discipline.

Our goal is to offer a ballet education that creates talented performing artists so they may achieve their future goals and become confident leaders in their profession. Final projects are designed to propel students into creative, successful careers. A nurturing and supportive environment, combined with professional ballet training, enables dancers to reach their full potential physically as their passion for arts education increases.

Friends University’s ballet department involves a number of guest artists, teachers and choreographers each year. Our repertoire includes ballets by George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp, Dominic Walsh, Shawn Stevens and many others. We are committed to introducing our dancers to current artists in the world of dance at large.

Choral and Vocal MusicChoral music has been at the heart of the Fine Arts program at Friends University since the University’s inception. Choral ensembles include students from all disciplines and are part of a comprehensive vocal program which includes music theatre and opera productions, choral-orchestral masterworks, and national and international tours. Friends University choirs are frequently invited to perform at the Kansas Music Educators Association annual convention and to collaborate with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra. Each year selected high school choirs are invited to the Choral Connections festival to join forces with Friends University choirs to study and perform under the baton of internationally-renowned specialists in choral music. The choral and vocal faculty regularly offer out-of-the-classroom learning experiences through national and international touring, opera study experiences in Germany

and performing at professional music education conferences throughout the Midwest and Southeast. Ensembles have performed across the United States and Canada, as well as Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The Singing Quakers, the oldest musical organization at Friends University, has also been featured on national television and has performed at the White House, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York City.

“The difference that I’ve personally had between success and failure within the Friends University Jazz department often comes down to making intelligent choices: when to practice, when to study, being prepared for all classes, lessons, and rehearsals, playing various gigs for experience, and making time for exercise and sleep. A tired mind and body cannot learn effectively!” — Jeren Francois, political science major with a

TheatreThe Bachelor of Arts in Theatre offers a broad-based program of study combining a liberal arts education with a general theatre curriculum.

Typically, a theatre major chooses not to specialize in any one area of the art form, but prefers to keep educational options open. The theatre environment can be quite competitive and you will learn to solve problems using critical thought processes in creative ways. Theatre means you’re working with others intimately and independently, you are goal oriented, a self-starter and you have respect for deadlines. But above all, you have fun!

Four main stage productions and several student-directed projects provide ample opportunity to be involved performing on stage or assisting backstage.
