Concordia students enrolled in the Faculty of Fine Arts

Evaluators for the BFA Acting for the Theatre program reviewed applications submitted by the March 1, 2021 deadline. They have sent admission recommendations for eligible applicants from that first round. It is anticipated that the program will be filled based on those offers.

 If there are any spaces left after those offers are sent, then the evaluators will consider applicants on the waiting list.

If you would like to apply for a spot on the waiting list, please submit the special requirements explained below.

If you intend to proceed with your application, and it is after March 1, 2021 please contact theatre@concordia.ca so you can be given a deadline, and for the office to track your file. 

Record a video as follows:

• A one-minute (maximum) introduction of yourself, speaking about who you are as an actor/artist and why you’re interested in coming to the Acting for the Theatre program at Concordia. 
  • Include your full name and where you currently reside.
• A monologue of your choosing, selected from our list. Your performance should be recorded in a single, continuous take (no edits), with your whole body visible at all times.
• A one-minute (maximum) character-based physical performance or movement piece, using very few words (if any). The piece should include a clear beginning, middle and end, and should tell a simple story in a theatrical way. Your piece can involve mime, dance-theatre, acrobatics clown, stage combat, or any other physical performance style. You can use costumes, props, music, or other performers if you wish. Just make sure the main focus is on telling a story – about a character in a situation taking actions in response to events – with your body. Again, this should be recorded in a single, continuous take.

Upload your video to YouTube, and post it with an “unlisted” setting. Please note that a URL for a public, "listed" video will not function.

Submit your materials. You will be able to upload your letter of intent, and paste the URL of your video in that form.
