In addition to the letter of intent, transcripts, deposit, three reference letters, application form, and fee, we require the submission of your current directing resume, a professional bio, and your artistic portfolio. The portfolio might include directing notes from prior productions, photos of those productions, and reviews. You don’t need to have done a lot of work prior to application, but we want to get a good sense of what that work is and where you would likely stand in the final selection of this cohort. We are looking for each cohort to be balanced, so that no student feels they are not getting as much attention as those who are substantially less experienced. We might be very excited about a student, but suggest that they wait until the next rotation and get some additional experience in the meantime. This would not be an indication of a lack of merit, but rather a way to better prepare the student for success in the program, which we intend to run by professional standards as taught by working professionals in the field.
