The aim of this module is to develop theoretical understanding and knowledge as well as practical experience of theatre directing through the production of extended scenes. You will attend master classes in a variety of areas (including rehearsal techniques, staging, communicating with actors) which will provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary challenges and approaches for directors, and you will undertake to direct at least two extended scenes of increasing complexity.
