The 5-10 Minute Video Interview
This is your opportunity to talk about why theatre matters to you and to share your passion. Prepare your discussion in advance by writing out your thoughts. Rehearse your discussion, but don't try to script or memorize it. Allow yourself to discuss the topics spontaneously, but having thought carefully about your perspective. Try to talk to the lens as if you were talking to another person.
The following prompts are to assist you, but need not be the only approach you take, nor should you feel obligated to address all of them.
