This course examines a range of techniques for the reflective theatre director, focused on, but not limited to: context-responsive production pedagogy, critically engaged text selection, differentiated preparation/planning, flexible navigation of rehearsal processes, and the creation of person-first, living/breathing theatrical moments. Student directors navigate the paradoxes of the profession at each stage of development, reconciling the innate complexities and emergent rewards inherent in the collaborative-autonomy demanded by the discipline.
