Performing Arts (Building 6) Lane’s
music,
dance, and
theater programs can be found in Building 6, the Center for the Performing Arts. Students and audiences alike enjoy the excellent performance spaces. The Performance Hall, which seats 500, has a high-end lighting system, professional sound system, and a flexible stage—elements that support the education of both technical and performing students, and make for professional performances for the community. The Blue Door Theater is a more intimate space, and is Eugene's only theatre-in-the-round. Here is where experienced students create their own theatrical events, and audiences can enjoy student showcases and cabarets.
But before a student can perform, they must perfect their craft. Thankfully, Building 6 also houses a music, dance, and theater arts resource center with reference materials, music theory tutorial software, and a large library of recordings and listening materials. The Center is also home to Lane's Music Technology & Sound Engineering program which offers students hands-on experience with the latest in music technology. The music technology classroom and lab has twenty stations where students learn about MIDI sequencing and audio production. The recording studio provides access to the latest in professional equipment and software.
