Step 4: Submit your materials
Step 2: Write your letter of intent
A letter of intent helps those considering your application to learn more about who you are as an artist and a student, and to see how you express yourself in writing.
In your letter, you should touch upon the following subjects:
- Why do you want to study theatre in general, and the Specialization program(s) you’re applying to in particular?
- Who are you? What intelligences, creative abilities, passions, fascinations, talents and/or cultural connections would you like us to know about you?
- What are your goals?
- What are some of your most meaningful theatre/performance experiences so far (as a spectator, participant, and/or an artist)?
- What else inspires you?
One to two pages should be enough for you to write succinctly about all the topics.
In addition, please answer the following briefly, in bullet point form:
- Past experience or training as a performer, creator and/or designer?
- Any other experiences that you feel are relevant? We consider a wide range of backgrounds as valuable as a background in theatre (e.g. engineering, architecture, communication studies, film production, fine arts, literature, circus arts, journalism, activism etc.)
- Do you play an instrument, sing, write creatively, or practice any other art form, or any traditional or cultural tradition that may be relevant?
- Do you dance, play any sports, or practice any other physical/movement disciplines?
- What languages do you speak, if any other than English?
- What’s the last book you read and enjoyed?
- What theatre-related books have made an impression on you, if any?
- Are you willing and able to attend an in-person interview in Montreal either on March 25th or 26th?
Please save your letter as a word doc or PDF. You will be able to upload it when you submit your materials.
