CETA 0911 - An Introduction to Directing for the Theater: A Laboratory for Young Directors and Actors

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

In contemporary Western theater, the director is the most powerful voice in the creative process, yet often the most invisible. Historically, the designation of the role of the director is a relatively recent one. The complexity of the role remains difficult to define and codify. Is the director a creative or an interpretive artist? Is their primary responsibility visual, emotional, narrative, linguistic, managerial? What is the nature of the director-actor collaboration? How does the rehearsal process work? What are their practical responsibilities? These questions are most effectively asked and answered through practical exploration, application, and experimentation.
