THR 240 - Introduction to Directing

3 Credit Hours

Structured in a workshop format, the intent of Intro to Directing is to study the principles, procedures, and practices of stage direction. Since acting and directing are inextricably related disciplines, students will be required to both direct and act. Therefore, at least one previous acting course or equivalent life experience is required. Beginning with a non-verbal approach to composition and movement study, and progressing to more formal text work, the various exercises culminate in the direction of a ten-minute ply or scene. This course demands a highly interactive, team playing commitment.
