Duke Performances Curriculum Enrichment Awards
Each year, Duke Performances partners with more than 30 faculty across a range of departments and academic units to coordinate 120 distinct residency events, reaching over 2,000 Duke students. We bring world-class artists to Duke classrooms and public forums in ways that directly enrich campus and community life. As an organization, we believe strongly that engagement with the arts, and the dynamics of live performance, creates context for learning and inquiry, facilitating collisions between ideas and animating course material. For the 2017/18 academic year, Duke Performances solicits proposals from Duke faculty and graduate instructors for three competitive grants. View the guidelines & application details.
