Submission deadline: March 8, 2024
Students will need to consult a potential mentor before submitting a 4011 proposal to ensure there is faculty/staff expertise and capacity to supervise in their chosen area.
DRAMA 4011 project proposals
Advanced acting proposals
Please note that DRAM 4011 proposals in the area of acting will be evaluated independently from other proposals. Students must audition in open calls for faculty and/or staff-directed productions, with no preferential status.
Therefore, it is advised that students have an alternative plan in place should they not happen to get cast. Students are very strongly encouraged to consider formulating their acting course proposal based on a variety of alternative learning projects and experiences (workshops, scene studies, etc.)
