Here is the full Call for Submissions. Please feel free to circulate widely!

York University's Faculty of Fine Arts and Canadian Stage announce the  
next intake into their collaborative program in theatre directing  
Specialized MFA to interview candidates in Fall 2014:

The York University MFA in Theatre - Stage Direction in Collaboration  
with Canadian Stage brings together one of Canada's pre-eminent  
theatre schools and one of the country's leading not-for-profit  
contemporary theatre companies, to offer highly specialized, advanced  
training in large-scale theatre directing. The two-year program allows  
students to develop their creative and technical skills to the highest  
level within a rigorous academic and professional context.

Students are deeply immersed in the professional world of theatre as  
they integrate their studio work at York with involvement in artistic  
projects at Canadian Stage. The program is customized for each student  
based on their experience, artistic orientation and goals. Key  
elements of this enriched academic experience include the opportunity  
to direct a Canadian Stage production and an internship with a major  
national or international theatre. For example, we've been able to  
arrange internships with Robert Carsen in Baden Baden, Ivo van Hove in  
Amsterdam, and Peter Sellars in London.

The next session of the MFA program in Stage Direction begins in  
September 2015, but York's Graduate Program in Theatre is accepting  
applications now: the deadline for applications is September 3, 2014.  
Directors with extremely strong individual and interpretive voices and  
substantial professional experience are invited to apply. Candidates  
should be committed to developing their artistic and technical skills  
and have a clear interest in working on a large scale.
