Critical and creative aspects of theatre
directing. Analysis of a play in terms of event
and character; exploring complementary ways of
understanding time and space onstage. Students
will delve into primary source writing by
directors for clues to their own distinctive
approach to the art form. Introduction of tools
for running a rehearsal room and the different
ways in which a director is responsible for
facilitating and synthesizing the creative act
among performers, playwrights, and designers.
