i think a lot has to do with who you work with as advisors as well as
the school.
i did my MFA at simon fraser university school for the contemporary
arts (vancouver, BC), because it has an interdisciplinary program
where you are all combined... film, dance, visual arts, music,
theatre, etc.
Laura Marks was my senior supervisor, Chris Welsby (film) and Rob
Kitsos (dance) were my other two advisors.
It was an absolutely fantastic experience.
it's a studio based MFA, but with a lot of theory, reading, and
writing as well. seminar classes that incorporate all disciplines,
and an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration. the classes are
very small, and you'll be mixed with choreographers, playwrights,
composers, filmmakers, etc... and it is a very rigorous but rewarding
program.
an absolutely incredible experience!
