Dear, Theatre Design Admissions Board: This letter states my intentions for applying to the University of Alberta Theatre Design Program for the Fall of 2016, and why I would be a great candidate for this program.

I found it so fascinating that architects got to create, and as a child creating seemed so fun. This is something that I never lost sight of, when I come up with new pieces or ideas the work is not just work for me but my passion. One might describe a theatre designer as an architect for the stage, who require unlimited creativity and imagination.This is something I do not lack, creativity and imagination, is a huge part of who I am as a student and artist. I often imagine sets for books, poetry, art, and even music. In my creative processes my imagination is constantly thinking of new ideas to test out. My interested in Theatre Design arose in high school when I saw my first Broadway Musical, Wicked.While watching the show, it dawned on me that somebody created a whole world on the stage.. Watching the show you were no longer in New York, but Oz and you became invested in the show. In theatre the sets heighten the emotion of the story for the audience, working together with the script to create a complete story. I want to go into theatre design to help create magical stories for the audience to experience an fall in love with, like I did with

Four months into the school year and this portfolio project has brought me to a number of realizations. The choices I made in my Technical Theatre I classes worked well, I feel they lead to a deeper understanding of the elements of design and they made points I had a hard time making in the past. While in my advanced class, I struggled to get a majority of students engaged in the large “Macbeth” project. During this semester, I came to the conclusion I need to fight more for the right to “approve” students for my advanced class. I don’t want my classes to become a dumping ground for students not willing to work.

“Don’t be afraid to explore, ask questions and take chances,” my dad would tell me. You see, my dad, an engineer, tried to get me to question everything. He is never afraid to learn a little bit more about something he already knows and is always eager to learn something new; I take after him. I love to learn, and figure out how things work. It's not surprising, then, that I plan on majoring in engineering; what is, perhaps, surprising, is that these same habits of mind led to me developing an interest in and passion for theatre.

Arts Board Application I believe that the arts are an essential part of any student’s curriculum. Not only does it enrich their lives, it teaches them skills such as the importance of practice and repetition in order to perfect their work; it teaches that perseverance and hard work shows in their creations; and that although mistakes are made, one can still make their mistakes into something great, as long as they don’t give up. This is why it’s important to have the arts represented in a school like Greenhill, where academics tend to be the main focus for many students. Other from ISAS and occasional concerts, students don’t often get to showcase their work to their peers. Too often during ISAS do students attend mostly Greenhill productions, and students who aren’t able to attend rarely see the hard work those in the Greenhill fine arts program put into their creations and performances.

I wanted to study history and go into law when entering school. When I accidentally signed up for a shop lab and by default job in the scene shop, I was soon convinced to add a minor in theatre to my studies and began getting more involved in the theatre department. I began to make theatre a priority and spent most of my time there. Working behind the scenes and taking different classes helped me have the basis of my training. Due to my combined background in history and several different elements of theatre, I would be an excellent in the Trinity program as there is an emphasis on being well-rounded for the industry.

Although rigorous deadlines and complex projects are intimidating to some, I have learned through my theatrical experiences to overcome such challenges, managing my time and skills effectively so I can meet the expectations of myself and others. For example, in my sophomore year of high school, I was the set designer for my school’s production of Annie. With a small crew and only a few weeks to construct a massive set for an entire musical, I put in late hours every day to ensure that my original drawings would come to life in the most magical of ways. I learned to work with limited resources and overcome what I consider to be one of the biggest trials I have faced in my life. The work ethic and critical thinking skills that I have acquired through such experiences in theatre are invaluable and crucial to what defines my personality and abilities as an

Years ago, my theatre classes contained overfill students who did not truly care about acting or technical careers, and therefore my course requirements fulfilled the bare minimum regarding fundamental skills and practices. While I have learned different techniques throughout monologue training or from directing scenes, I further wish to push myself in a rigorous environment that cares about my education. As a senior, my school’s courses do not criticize my acting in a manner which helps me move forward, and instructors focus more on the younger students who will be in shows for several years. I have not received individual attention for several years, as I now work with younger classmates to help them with my knowledge. Even though I know I positively impact other performers, I wish to have a place where I can experiment with different acting styles and receive effective feedback.

When I was in Year 5, a children's theatre company came to my primary school and performed a show about a journey through space.

It was this experience that really opened my eyes to the world of theatre and since then I have been obsessed. I want to study Musical Theatre at university in hopes of having a career in this subject.

Since the times of the Greeks, live theatre has been a grand stage for all to see and enjoy, to show the greatness and horrors of life, and to escape from reality. Throughout people's lives, theater has in some way been in involved. For some people, theatre permits a deeper analytical understanding of life while working on a theatre show and also allows the cast and crew to gain work experience that may allow them to gain friends that will last a lifetime. Because of this, even though some people do not realize it, theater in schools is a great opportunities for children and teams to learn how to work with others and their differences. If schools start eliminating theatre programs, schools are also eliminating the dreams of those students

My initial definition of theatre was that it was a performance put on by actors to tell a story. This was a very bland, to the point definition. By watching Playboy of the Western World, Nightwalk, Rockaby, and Beijing Opera I realized there is a lot more to theatre than what an individual would think. Theatre is a live production to entertain or inform an audience. Generally, productions tell a story.

My main at the moment goal is first of all to learn as much as I can about the field of musical theatre and improve my skills as much as possible, while enjoying the art of acting and singing. After that, I hope to be able to express those abilities in professional theatres across the United Kingdom and maybe even outside of it. Though I cannot but care for glamorous titles such as "the west end" of "Broadway", I wouldn 't mind working at any theatre as long as I 'm surrounded by talented people, who know how to tell a good story through stage, and as long as I am given the opportunity to do
