Description

This course serves as an introduction to the field of theatre directing. Through lectures and workshops, students explore preparation, analysis, conceptualization, dramaturgy, communication, ethical issues and the casting, rehearsing and staging of performance within the shifting role of the theatre artist as a global citizen. This course also provides a cursory history of the development of direction as an art form, with the goal that such study will aid students in considering new perspectives and approaches in their own directing endeavours.
