Theatre Production, Design, and Stage Management Work Study Programs

Application Requirements

Please note:  a portfolio is required from all applicants to properties, design, scenic painting, and wigs and make-up. Applicants to these Work Study positions are required to submit a copy of their portfolio to the Office of the Registrar by the application deadline. A portfolio is also required if you are applying for properties, design, scenic painting, or wigs and make-up as an additional or alternate program choice.

Electronic Submissions

Along with the basic application form that can be submitted electronically, all other text-based support materials can be sent as an email attachment to the following address: Theatre_Registrar@banffcentre.ca

Attachments should be sent in a recognized word processing format. Microsoft Word is preferred. Rich Text Format is another option, if you do not have Microsoft Word. Please indicate clearly which program the support materials are for. Pages should be numbered with your name clearly indicated on each page. If you are scheduled for a telephone interview, you can submit your portfolio materials digitally in DVD or CD format. Websites and Internet links are also acceptable, as long as the links provided lead directly to the material to be viewed. Emailed images are also acceptable, but only if they do not exceed a five megabyte maximum.

Hard Copy Submissions

Applicants wishing to provide text-based support materials in hard copy rather than electronically, should submit materials to:

Office of the Registrar 
The Banff Centre 
107 Tunnel Mountain Drive, Box 1020 
Banff, AB 
T1L 1H5 Canada

Please indicate clearly, on each item submitted, your name and which program the support materials are for.

IMPORTANT

• All application material and portfolio pages must be numbered and the applicant’s name should be clearly indicated at the top of each page.
• Do not send original works. Portfolio materials will not be returned to the applicants.
• Applicants sending portfolio materials from outside Canada must attach, on the outside of the package, a declaration of value for customs. The estimated value for customs declaration should reflect the cost of media used, not the value of the work itself (e.g., photocopies of portfolio: Value $5).Failure to do so may result in customs charges; any charges incurred will be charged to the applicant’s account.

Eligibility

Participants are selected on the basis of competency, demonstrated interest, and assessed potential in professional theatre. Participants normally will have completed at least two years of relevant academic training, with related professional experience, or will have experience in a related area of professional performing arts.
