Directing: Tech, Previews, and Beyond

For new directors and experienced directors alike, this course will explore the process of directing with a focus on final rehearsals, tech, and previews. Over the course of the class, students will study multiple approaches to integrating performance and design. This class will provide tools for collaborating with writers, performers, stage managers, choreographers/designers, and producers throughout designer runs, technical rehearsals and previews. In this class, students will be asked to rehearse as directors and as actors in scene/monologue studies with each other, which may involve meeting for rehearsal outside of class. Additionally, this class will be visited by a guest designer.

Directing: Tech and Previews is one in a sequence of 3 directing courses offered by Remy Bumppo, but the classes do not need to be taken sequentially and may be taken more than once. This class is an opportunity to develop or brush up on skills under the guidance of Artistic Director Marti Lyons.
