This program aims to demystify the application process to selective (audition/portfolio-based) acting and directing MFA/BFA programs by providing consultations, material review, coaching, panels and mock auditions/interviews with the inside knowledge of the selection process. Eugene has taught at some of the most selective MFA and BFA programs in North America, and will candidly help you focus your application materials to fully represent what you will bring to the work at these programs. We will also bring in guests instructors who are current/past faculty members as well as a panel of graduates of these programs so you may be able to get another point of view into how your work is received, as well as have a platform to ask candid questions from admissions process queries to student life and school experiences so the candidates are not only equipped to slay these auditions and application deadlines, but to also be as informed as they can possibly be about these programs and paths before deciding to commit years of their lives to this craft!
