| The Master of Fine Arts in Theatre Practice brings talented and motivated graduate students together with outstanding educators, active artists and theorists with local, national, and international perspectives in the performing arts. As a student of the MFA Theatre Practice your own process is at the centre. There is room for cross-fertilization in your training program as well as specialization in a chosen area. In addition, you will be introduced to numerous theoretical and artistic projects, in both research and creation, in which our faculty is engaged. The Master of Fine Arts in Theatre Practice stimulates and deliberately challenges your activity as an artist working in the field of contemporary performance. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
An undergraduate degree in theatre or a related art form is required, along with substantial experience creating and interpreting theatre in professional or community settings. The candidate needs to contact the MFA Theatre Practice Coordinator, who will identify a faculty advocate (specialist in his/her proposed area of study) to advise on his/her application.
Successful applicants have an established background in their area of study, and are seeking enhancement of technical skills, artistic approaches and research methodology. We recommend that students considering the MFA in Theatre Practice have a strong record of performance practice before applying. The program is aimed at mature artists who are interested in deepening or redirecting an already existing practice. |
