<p>What will be most important for a BFA applicant’s artistic resume is their theatre work. Typically a resume will list the role, the play and the venue. I would say the typical applicant probably lists 6 to 9 high school productions (2 to 3 per year through junior year) supplemented by roles in community, summer and professional theatre. Some students will also have film and television credits listed.</p>
<p>Applicants typically also list their theatre-related training including classes, instructors, camps, workshops, summer intensives in voice, movement and acting.</p>
<p>Anything unrelated to theater, like NYLC, I would list at the very bottom of the artistic resume, if at all. It would be better to list special theatre-related skills like playing musical instruments,ballroom dance, ballet, foreign language, chorus, playwriting, improv, stage combat etc…</p>
<p>If you’re really serious about this, you might consider a pre-college summer intensive to see if a BFA is right for you; and then perhaps take a gap year to get the experience and training you would need to compete in the rigorous, expensive and highly competitive winter audition season.</p>
