Students for Cultural Inclusion in the Theatre (SCIT)

We are looking for writers, actors, directors, prop designers, scenic designers, and literally anybody who is interested in theater, but doesn’t know what they want to do! SCIT is looking for both POC and white students who are interested in fostering a culturally inclusive community to uplift marginalized voices. We are looking for passionate creators of all skill levels to work on various projects throughout the semester. For more information email scit@lclark.edu OR follow @lcskit on instagram.

Pause. Journal for Dramatic Expression

The mission of the (Pause.) board is to facilitate, produce, and publish student-written dramatic literature in the form of the annual (Pause.) Journal of Dramatic Literature and the biannual Once Upon a Weekend festival. We are a group that sets out to encourage student playwrights both by publishing and producing their work and also by involving those interested in playwriting or editing in the publishing process.

The Lewis and Clark Dance Company (LC Dance)

LCDance is a student-led club that holds a spring dance production called Dance Y as well as providing student-led and guest artist workshops, dance programming, and a centralized, casual place for student dancers to come together! We are welcoming of all dance styles and abilities and feel at the core that dance should be something that should breed joy not stress. We love giving student artists who aren’t necessarily academically in the arts a space to be creative as well.
