Sheffield company offering free introduction to directing course
Introduction to Directing, in collaboration with Theatre Deli, is part of the Regional Theatre Young Director Scheme and is an opportunity for people from backgrounds currently under-represented in UK theatre as a result of barriers arising from social, gender, financial, ethnic, cultural, geographic or educational disadvantage or disability.
Aimed at people who have an interest in directing and devising, this practical course will give you a feel of what it’s like to be a theatre maker. We’ll share how we make our work and the exercises we use. You’ll have the opportunity to devise, work from scripts, direct professional actors and talk to a variety of theatre professionals.
The course will:
- Equip you with a range of practical skills for devising and developing your work
- Offer a varied approach to directing, led by professionals
- Develop an understanding of planning and running a rehearsal
- Provide an opportunity for you to direct professional actors
- Create a safe, fun space to experiment and play
- Encourage you to challenge yourself artistically
