This is a course from a previous year. View the current courses
Intermediate—Year
This class will focus on directing plays in the 20th-century canon, covering a range of styles and content. It will cover the whole journey of directing a play, with a strong emphasis on practical work. Students will be required to bring in design research for plays and to direct scenes from the plays, both of which they will present to the class for critique. The class will focus on how to use the text to inform the choices made by the director. Jackson Gay will teach in the fall; Will Frears, in the spring.
