THTR 406 Directing III
Students participate in a directing lab from the first day of class through practical directing exercises on selected scenes. Attention will be given to advanced directorial problems of interpretation, planning and rehearsal, characterization, style, language, visualization, production values and the actor-director relationship. Dramaturgical research skills will be stressed to inform the student director’s interpretation of the script and directing choices in rehearsal. Course work will be supplemented by guest lectures and attendance at theatre events. Students direct a 20-minute theatre piece as their final project for public performance for which a minimum of 45 hours spent in independent rehearsals is required. May be repeated for up to 6 credits. Additional lab fee applies.
