In preparation for the interview, and so we may begin to get to know you, please answer the following questions. These questions are meant to challenge you creatively and to address some of the issues that unfold throughout the creative process.

1. Please describe your professional background and current responsibilities (in acting and other professional work you are involved in)?

2. What are your central accomplishments as a professional and as a person?

3. Are you prepared to open up to new discoveries and possibilities about yourself and the world? Are you ready to give yourself time to develop these possibilities and to commit to a process of learning?

4. What long - term process have you previously been committed to outside of your professional responsibilities? Are you committed to yourself as a human being?

5. What is your ideal in life? What do you want to accomplish?

6. What quality in yourself do you want to develop, and are you willing to go beyond what you perceive as your limitations?

Each individual is endowed with unique creative talent and has a profound longing to contribute their creative essence to the world as something powerful, beautiful, and lasting. When one is aware of this insight, it can be painful to look back on life and realize you did not take the opportunity to develop your gifts. By joining the creative legacy and tradition of the theatre, what statement would you like to make professionally, artistically and philosophically with your trained instrument in the world?
