Department of Fine Arts

Brock University’s School of Fine and Performing Arts invites applications
for a 10-month appointment as the Visiting Artist in the Department of
Dramatic Arts.  Subject to budgetary approval, the position will be from
August 1, 2002 – May 31, 2003.

The Department of Dramatic Arts offers BA Pass and Honours degrees with a
Major in Dramatic Arts and combining studies in Theatre, Dramatic Literature
and Drama in Education.  Other options include: a 5-year Co-op Program in
Dramatic Arts; a 4 year Pass Major degree in Theatre; and both a
Concentration and a Certificate in Drama in Education for non-Major
students.

Two major theatre production (one per term), a Spring Arts Festival and
independent projects complement our academic offerings.  Each major
production includes a professional guest designer, contracted in
consultation with the Visiting Artist and the Department.

The successful candidate will direct a major production and teach theatre
classes involving from 9-13 contact hours per week, depending on the courses
taught.  A strong commitment to teaching is essential, as is a keen
enthusiasm for and knowledge of the theory and practice of contemporary
theatre.  Applicants should possess an MFA and/or the equivalent in
professional experience and have teaching and directing experience at the
post-secondary level.

In accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, this advertisement is
directed to Canadian citizens and permanent residents.  Interested
candidates are asked to submit a letter of application, a curriculum vitae,
relevant press/portfolio materials, a statement of teaching philosophy, a
short list of plays which the applicant would like to direct and reasons
why, and the names and contact information of three referees to:

        Murray Kropf, Chair
        Department of Fine Arts
        Brock University
        St. Catharines, ON L2S 3A1

The deadline for applications is May 15th, 2002.

Brock University is committed to a positive action policy aimed at reducing
gender imbalance in faculty; qualified men candidates are especially
encouraged to apply.

Brock University is located in St. Catharines, Ontario, in the heart of the
scenic Niagara Peninsula, approximately one hour’s drive from Toronto and 40
minutes from Buffalo.  Because of the intensity of the work load, if an out
of area candidate is chosen, it is likely that (s)he would find it more
convenient to relocate to this area for the duration of the contract.  More
information on Brock University can be found on the University’s website:

University’s Resident Theatre Company); The Stratford Theatre Festival;
