Undergraduate School of Drama Art Materials
Due to the nature of our school and the type of movement classes that you will be participating in, we have listed items that you are required to bring with you at the beginning of the school year.
These items do not necessarily have to be newly purchased, just in good enough condition to withstand daily usage. A lot of the clothing and shoes can be found at most sporting goods stores and/or dance supply stores. You can also search online and second-hand shops.
It is recommended for all students to bring a printer for your laptop and extra ink. All books listed can be purchased through the UNCSA virtual bookstore.
