Content: This course is intended to develop the student's ability to analyze plays for acting and staging possibilities and develop a rehearsal strategy for realizing the play. The first half of the course is devoted to analyzing selected plays and staging moments. Practical techniques are also assigned that deal with basic directing approaches, particularly work with text, actors and space. The second half of the course concentrates on the students staging a selected ten minute play.
Assessment: Students are graded primarily on the basis of class participation, three papers, attending rehearsals and successful completion of the dramaturgical and production work of their directorial project.
