<p>BU indicates that "applicants may elect to present a portfolio representing their additional interests in theatre (i.e., a script or a portfolio of directing work)" in addition to auditioning for a performance track. My D has some nice costume design and directing work she could present but I am not sure of how to format it or anything like that because she hasn't had to do any others. Has anyone here done that for BU? Any guidance or information? I know design track kids have to upload their portfolio but I am not sure if performance track kids do that. Any other information about auditions at BU would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>My D went through auditions last year. Her directors at HS (a performing arts HS) had all acting students put together portfolios. D did hers like a scrapbook and included photos, newspaper reviews, her directing notebook from when she directed a one-act play, and some of her dramaturgy work. Other kids (some of whom were also in the tech dept) included costume designs and set/lighting design schematics. Some of the schools that D auditioned for took the time to look at her portfolio and she received some nice comments about the depth and breadth of her work - other schools did not glance at it. She did audition for BU and I think that they were one of the schools that gave her nice comments. And BU was one of her favorite auditions - they really took time to work with her and give suggestions for monologues, etc.</p>
<p>Thank you! That is great that the folks at your D’s school had the kids do that! </p>
<p>I think tomorrow is going to be another snow day and I think I know what we are going to be doing. Fortunately I have binders and sheet protectors!</p>
<p>I love hearing about how kids have these deep passions for theater. Its nice to know that some of the schools appreciate that as well.</p>
<p>How wonderful! Good luck with everything!</p>
