In the high stakes field of large-scale theatre directing, experience is usually gained on the job and in a sink-or-swim situation. While there\u2019s no prescribed career path, most directors develop their chops on small- and mid-sized stages while waiting for the big break.<\/p>\n

Theatre artists Ted Witzel and Ker Wells are going about it somewhat differently. They\u2019re the inaugural participants in the York University MFA in Theatre \u2013 Stage Direction in Collaboration with Canadian Stage, a landmark initiative that\u2019s breaking new ground in Canadian theatre training.<\/p>\n

Launched last fall as a partnership between one of Canada\u2019s preeminent theatre schools and one of the country\u2019s leading not-for-profit contemporary theatre companies, this innovative graduate program offers highly specialized, advanced training in large-scale theatre directing. \u00a0Its mission is to support the development of directorial talent for the national and international stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen directors make their mainstage debut, they often feel they\u2019re getting one kick at the can, and if they fail they\u2019ll never get to do a large production again,\u201d said Professor Eric Armstrong, director of York\u2019s MFA theatre programs. \u201cHere, you get to work with large casts on big shows in a mentored setting \u2013 something that just\u00a0doesn't\u00a0happen in the professional world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The collaborative MFA program allows students to develop their creative and technical skills to the highest level, integrating their academic and studio work in York\u2019s Department of Theatre with involvement in artistic projects at Canadian Stage<\/a>. The opportunity to direct a Canadian Stage production and an internship with a major national or international theatre are key elements of the two-year program.<\/p>\n

Canadian Stage Artistic and General Director Matthew Jocelyn and\u00a0Resident Artist Kim Collier <\/strong>serve as personal mentors for the MFA candidates. \u00a0Collier, co-founder and artistic director of Vancouver\u2019s Electric Company Theatre and winner of the 2010 Siminovitch Prize for directing, works closely with the students to support their professional development.<\/p>\n

The program is customized for each student based on their background, artistic orientation and goals, so Wells and Witzel\u2019s experience over the past year and their plans for the next are highly individual.<\/p>\n

Wells assisted Collier in her direction of the Canadian Stage production of Red<\/em> last fall, and served as assistant director to Richard Rose for A Midsummer Night's Dream<\/em><\/a>, Canadian Stage\u2019s 30th anniversary Shakespeare in the Park presentation, running in Toronto\u2019s High Park until September 2.\u00a0 This coming season, Witzel will assist Kim Collier on a production for Vancouver's Bard on the Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the international front, Wells heads to the Netherlands this fall for an internship with acclaimed director Ivo van Hove at Toeneelgroep Amsterdam<\/a>,\u00a0working on a play by Ingmar Bergman. Witzel has an internship lined up with the renowned Canadian-born, Europe-based opera director Robert Carsen\u00a0(LLD Hons. '05)\u00a0for a production of Mozart\u2019s The Magic Flute<\/em> at the Festspielhaus<\/a> in Baden-Baden, Germany\u00a0in March 2013.<\/p>\n

Both MFA candidates bring a wealth of experience to their work at York, at Canadian Stage and abroad.<\/p>\n

Active in Toronto\u2019s independent theatre scene for the past five years, Witzel is artistic director of The Red Light District<\/a>, a company he co-founded in 2006. His directing credits include a number of bold, site-specific adaptations of classics in non-traditional venues such the Gladstone Hotel, Drake Underground, Whippersnapper Gallery and Trinity Bellwoods Park. His most recent productions for Red Light District have been La Ronde<\/em>, an adaptation of the Arthur Schnitzler play, at the downtown club Wicked, and Tennessee Williams\u2019 Suddenly, Last Summer<\/em> with the Tennessee Project at the Gibson House Museum in North York. Witzel divides his time between Toronto and Germany, where he has worked as assistant to leading directors such as Johanna Schall and Sebastian Baumgarten.<\/p>\n

Wells is an actor, director and teacher who has toured across Canada and in the US, England, Denmark, France, Italy and Serbia. He was a founding member of Primus Theatre in Winnipeg, where he worked for nearly a decade before moving to Toronto and co-founding Number Eleven Theatre in 1998. His productions with Number Eleven include Icaria<\/em>, The Prague Visitor<\/em> and The Curious History of Peter Schlemihl<\/em>. Other credits include The Confessions of Punch and Judy <\/em>for New York State-based NACL Theatre and solo shows Living Tall<\/em> for Public Energy, Peterborough and Swimmer (68) <\/em>for Toronto\u2019s Hopscotch Collective.<\/p>\n

York\u2019s Graduate Program in Theatre is now accepting applications for the next cycle of the MFA program in Theatre - Stage Direction in Collaboration with Canadian Stage. Two new students will be admitted into the program in September 2013. The\u00a0 application deadline is Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2012. Directors with extremely strong individual and interpretive voices and substantial professional experience are invited to apply. Candidates should be committed to developing their artistic and technical skills and have a clear interest in working on a large scale.<\/p>\n
