I love that at AMPD, we take a holistic approach to dance. We have the opportunity to learn not just about the physical practice, but also the history of dance and choreographic methods. We read, write and are fully immersed in the art of dance. These are the things I didn’t think I would get […]

The great thing about Integrative Arts is that it’s a multidisciplinary program, so I get to dive into every kind of medium – a little bit of film, 3D modelling, sculpting and more.

When I first looked into screenwriting programs in Canada, there weren't many options. So when I found AMPD, it really opened up possibilities for me. And of course, being in Toronto, it's easy to access studios and travel around. AMPD exceeded my expectations. Tianna Reynolds Second-Year Screenwriting Student

What I enjoy most about the screenwriting program is how hands-on it is. They really give us time to start with an idea and develop it. Through my courses, I even get to go from script to screen myself. It's cool to have both the script and the film in my hands. Daniela Corallo Second-year […]

I chose to come to AMPD because York offers the only university-level screenwriting program in the entire country. The networking opportunities here, combined with being located in Toronto—the hub of Canada's film industry—definitely played a key role in my decision to join this program.
