Directing II
DRA4376.01
Course Description
Summary
We will address the process of discerning a text’s dramatic potential and realizing that potential in performance by developing and implementing a directorial approach through analysis and rehearsal techniques. The term is divided between exercises and rehearsal of individual projects. The work of the course will culminate in a director’s approach essay, a rehearsal log, and a public performance of student-directed scenes. Students are encouraged to explore cultural, ethnic, race, and gender diversity in choosing their final projects, which are subject to instructor’s approval.Prerequisites
