THEA 1302 - DIRECTING AND DEVISING

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
If we think of playwriting as the act of authoring a script, then directing is more the act of authoring an event. Playwrights manipulate words to craft stories on the page, while directors manipulate time and space to craft experiences in the rehearsal room and eventually on the stage. This collaborative and co-creative class focusses on the construction of the theatrical event. Students will build a shared vocabulary for articulating the varied elements of the theatrical moment, and then explore practical ways and means to respond, to contribute and to shape the moment. Students will develop creative problem-solving strategies in a daily practice of selecting and arranging the separate components of the theatrical language for the purpose of generating bold cohesive works of art.
