About
the Book:
Directing for the Stage: A Workshop Guide of 42 Creative
Training Exercises and Projects is a comprehensive guide for
instructors and students. Designed for both beginning and advanced
courses in "Directing for Theatre."
Directing for the Stage is the only theatre text that
combines theory with active student participation. The 42 exercises
detailed in this comprehensive theatre text provide both the
instructor and the student a "user-friendly" workshop
structure. With the basic concepts of directing presented
progressively, the approach is totally hands-on. The student
discovers the demands and problems of directing by actually doing it
step-by-step, and through the process, his or her own directing style
emerges. Every exercise is presented in great detail and includes
both an overview and a section on how to critique a student's work
whether you're the director or a classmate.
Creativity and confidence building are the central benefits of
this excellent workshop text that includes seven sequential chapters:
• Creating the Directing Workshop
• The Silent Seven
• Justifying Movement
• Ground Plan Exercises
• Open Scene Exercises
• Closed Scene Exercises
• Supporting Parts
