Course Description

Summary

This course will support student directors in the rehearsal and production process of their faculty-approved projects. It will provide a structured framework for students to conceive, rehearse, and present their theatrical productions under the guidance of faculty. Students will develop a collaborative process as they direct and manage productions from inception through performance. Through rehearsal observations, guided group feedback sessions, and weekly meetings with their student designers, students will gain hands-on experience developing a directorial vision, working with actors, coordinating design and technical elements, and navigating the challenges of production.
