Advice on your application materials:

Digital portfolio of artistic work - What you have already done

Please focus on completed artistic works and make a clear, edited selection that is relevant to your research proposal. Keep written information around your documented work concise. Time-based fragments (audio or video) can be shared via links in this PDF file. In the initial selection round, we will not listen to more than 10 minutes of time-based files, so please edit accordingly and make smart decisions about which clips you want the committee to watch and/or listen to.

File specifications: PDF, ideally less than 20 pages

What do you intend to explore in your studies, and how?

Tell us about the work in your portfolio, what your key interests are, and how you intend to pursue these in the coming two years. Be specific. Write about the topic and any reading that has inspired you. Tell us why you are interested, and how you will engage this area of interest artistically. How will you approach this as an artistic research project?
