The Bakkhai
The Association of Theatre and Dance Students at Casper College

The Bakkhai is a student organization dedicated to the support and promotion of theatre, dance, and learning.  Members have the opportunity to participate in and even initiate theatre- and dance-based activities in addition to what is already offered by the department of theatre and dance.

Theatre and dance can be extremely time-consuming, with little time for relaxation.  The Bakkhai is in a position to sponsor relaxing and exciting activities to help break the stress of production, and bring everyone together.

Each year the Department of Theatre and Dance goes on a theatre trip to visit major theatre centers around the region.  While we usually go to Denver, we have gone as far as Minneapolis and Las Vegas in the recent past.  The Bakkhai, as an organization, is the principle fund-raising entity.  Funds raised are used to offset the cost to Bakkhai members.  Because of this function, the Bakkhai takes a strong hand in planning the activities of each year’s trip.

Membership in the Bakkhai is open to anyone with an active interest in theatre and dance.  We encourage all majors to join.  Membership is simple - express an interest, pay the dues ($10 per year) and get involved!

 

Flight
Dance Company of the Department of Theatre and Dance

Flight, the dance company of the Department of Theatre and Dance, is made up of students who are on dance scholarship and/or who are theatre, musical theatre or dance majors.  The fundamental requirement is a commitment to dance performance, and a willingness to commit the time to rehearsals and performance, especially the annual contemporary dance concert.  The company also represents the Department of Theatre and Dance at the American College Dance Festival and at various schools throughout the state by providing performances and workshops. 

The Association of Dance Performers

The Association of Dance Performers is a student organization recognized by the Casper College Student Senate.  This group is open to any Casper College students and focuses on various fund-raisers as well as local and statewide workshops in dance techniques and performance.  This group also works hand-in-hand with the company class to perform at various local events and act as ambassadors to Casper College.
