Course: Stage Directions 2016

Do you want to have an impact on the world and let your voice be heard? Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a rehearsal room? Would you like to find out more about the role of a theatre director?

This Autumn we’re running an intensive course in theatre directing led by established director Cheryl Martin (Associate Director at Contact, Resident Director at The Traverse, Edinburgh: MEN Theatre Award and Edinburgh Fringe First) alongside invited established directors and theatre makers.

The course will:

  • Develop an understanding of planning and running a rehearsal.
  • Equip participants with a range of practical skills for working with actors and approaching texts.
  • Offer an insight into different practices through masterclasses with industry professionals.
  • Provide an opportunity to direct a short scene with professional actors.

Come join us. Have a go. Be heard. No experience is necessary, just enthusiasm.

Places are limited and we will be holding informal interviews on Tues 6 September. Please note this opportunity is for those who have limited experience of theatre directing and all applicants must be 18+.
