Directing Colloquium is designed to support and enhance your work as a director in both the development process as well as the production process. We will balance the course by speaking about the plays you are working on as well as discussions surrounding larger issues in the directing process. The aim is to develop the necessary skills, strategies and techniques for directing both new and established works. Anchored by your own work in rehearsals at our core, we will integrate topics relevant to various parts of the play production and development process in informative sessions/conversations. We will also not ignore the moment we sit in historically as theater artists and how we can best learn and grow during this unprecedented time for our art form. In addition, we will spend some sessions focused on issues central to artistic leadership and professional development specific to launching a professional career. 2.0 units. Fall and Spring semesters.
