T 442 - Directing II

Prerequisites: T 150, T 250, T 342, T 350 The class is a deeper and further examination of the director's art and craft. This class will explore both traditional and non-traditional texts and concepts. These will be utilized in order to broaden the imagination and vocabulary of the director's work. Literary texts not originally written for the theatre including short stories, poetry, and works of non-fiction will be used for source material. Directors will be responsible for assembling, creating, and writing their own adaptations from these texts. Non-traditional adaptations of existing plays will also be explored. Staged showcases of student work will be presented throughout the semester as part of the mid-term and final exams. 3 credits
