A practical introduction to directing theatre and to the different styles, concerns, and goals that guide directors as they pursue their vision. Through lectures, discussions, and practical exercises, students learn how directors prepare for their work by generating ideas, breaking down a text, animating space, and communicating with actors. The majority of the learning takes place during contact time within the class and regular attendance is key. A letter of interest is required. The Application Deadline is March 10th for the first round; August 1st for the second round. Priority is given to Drama Specialists and Majors. See CDTPS Application Guidelines for information on how to apply.
