THR 240 - Introduction to Directing

Institution:

Reading Area Community College

Subject:

Description:

Structured in a workshop format, the intent of Intro to Directing is to study the principles, procedures, and practices of stage direction. Since acting and directing are inextricably related disciplines, students will be required to both direct and act. Therefore, at least one previous acting course or equivalent life experience is required. Beginning with a non-verbal approach to composition and movement study and progressing to more formal text work, course assignments culminate in the direction of a ten-minute play or scene. As does theatre itself, this course demands a highly interactive, team playing commitment and, because of this, attendance at all classes is expected.
