Meet some of the talented, creative, energetic, and engaging students in Houston Community College’s Center of Excellence for the Visual and Performing Arts.  Get a backstage look at what goes on in the lives of students studying Drama and Music.  Watch a warmup while learning about a Dance major.  See our Visual Arts students in their natural habitat (and why they wear so much black) in our Art Studios.  Check out what happens when we get our Filmmaking majors in front of the camera.  Hear what it takes to be a Music Business major on their way to discovering the next Beyoncé or from an Audio Recording student helping make her sound so incredible in concert. 

We hope you’ll be inspired to join us!

My name is Danielle Williams. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I’m a sophomore in the Southwest Honors College at HCC. I’m the Honors College Club President and a Phi Theta Kappa member. I’m also the Black Life Studies Club Treasurer. I’m a theatre major. I spend most of my time dreaming about performing on the big stages in New York when I can pursue my love of singing and acting. Fun fact about me: I was a girl scout for 13 years. I am a bronze, silver, and gold award recipient in Girl Scouts. After being in scouts, it helped shape my way of thinking about the world and my community-driven motivations. I’m still on a self-discovery journey in terms of my future. I hope to reach my dreams of opening my own theatre company, becoming a playwright, a well-known actress, and a black rights activist. Ultimately, I hope to inspire others, spread positivity and leave a legacy of goodness.
