[Candrama] MFA degree option at UofCalgary

[Pil Hansen]

Dear CanDrama community,

We would love for you to have to have this information available when you advise advanced students about graduate degree options. Please do feel free to share.


The MFA Drama Program at The University of Calgary's School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) welcomes applications for studies beginning in September 2019. APPLY HERE<https://arts.ucalgary.ca/schools/creative-performing-arts/drama/graduate> by January 15, 2019.

Working alongside Dance and Music programs, our Drama students receive primary discipline-specific preparation at an advanced level and unique opportunities for interdisciplinary exploration. Imagining the future of performance from roots to reinvention, the SCPA offers both intensive studio training and inspired intellectual inquiry, providing first class preparation for a wide range of exciting opportunities and vocations beyond graduation.

Applicants to the MFA in Drama can specialize in the following areas: Design/Technical, Directing, Playwriting, and Theatre Studies. Students who join our graduate cohort work alongside faculty members and receive close supervision while learning how to produce, share, and apply their own original creative and academic knowledge.

Graduate students choose our program because they wish to advance their practice and career opportunities in the performing arts, academia, and related industries, and to pursue research interests through rigorously integrated creative practice, experimentation, and scholarship. Students are also attracted to the School of Creative and Performing Arts to learn with our accomplished faculty members, benefit from our substantial creation and production facilities, and push boundaries through the interdisciplinary collaboration that our school and university community offers. Students are also generously funded and gain paid teaching and internship experience.

To learn more about our award winning supervisors' profiles, our current graduate students' research and creation projects, and our local and national contexts, please take a look at our GRADUATE INFO FOLDER<https://arts.ucalgary.ca/schools/creative-performing-arts/sites/arts.ucalgary.ca.schools.creative-performing-arts/files/2019_mfa.pdf>.

Questions or requests for a conversation are always welcome.

Warm regards,

Pil
