THEA 035. Directing I: Directors’ Lab

This course introduces students to the theater director’s role in a rehearsal and production process, exploring directing tools, the responsibilities of leadership, and the values/principles one might use to guide processes towards performance. Set up as a studio-based, laboratory-styled class, the course will be broken up into units that include the director’s work with playscripts, staging, actors, staff, and designers. The course’s final project consists of an extended scene to be performed as part of a public presentation.
Fulfills a general requirement for all theater majors and minors.
