Advanced Directing is an examination of advanced techniques of directing through the practical directing of scenes, exploration of rehearsal tools for work with actors, and the creation of original staging formats. Innovative directing techniques will be explored, including a study of Naturalism, Realism, Viewpoints, Rasa Boxes, and Expressionistic and Brechtian devices. Students will work towards developing their own directorial voice and performance aesthetics through practical and dynamic use of the theatre space.
