A. In one essay no more than two pages in length, please answer the following two questions:

    1. Our program is unique in that it has interdisciplinary, co-authored arts practice at its core. Students will share authorship and develop artistic work as a group in collaborative arts workshops that include writing, movement, acting, film, visual arts, and emerging media. In the core collaborative workshops there is no traditional sole director, writer, performer, etc. 


    Why you would like to be a part of this collaborative program?

    2. Our students receive foundational training in five different areas of artistic practice. Because of this broad-based approach, our students – unlike in other BFAs – do not focus on one specific discipline. We are training versatile, multi-faceted artists of tomorrow.

    Why you would like to be a part of this multi-disciplinary program?
