THE 216 - Fundamentals of Directing

Covers basic principles of stage directing including, conceiving a theatre production, choosing and interpreting performance texts, creating and conveying vision, collaborating with designers/crew, working with actors, leading rehearsals, staging action, and crafting a performance.
