Studio 58 to SFU BFA transfer application essays

Studio 58 Acting graduates seeking the block transfer into SFU's Theatre & Performance BFA submit one PDF assessed by SFU faculty. Alongside a Langara transcript and creative CV, it contains a cover letter and three responses about their artistic direction, making new work, and interests they would bring to live performance. This is a specific graduate transfer pathway, not Langara's general admission essay.
