Inventing Directing

"Inventing Directing" is a course that deals with how a director gets thought into stage space via: different emphases communicated to actors; attention to the life of objects; exploration of the languages of stage space; accessing personal experience to deepen point of view; drawing upon film, the practical application of theory, and literature; vertical thinking; and spatializing time. The course will involve practical exercises and work on both scenes from plays and on material drawn from other sources.
