The students will learn the basics of directing and how to make a scene come to life. We will start by looking at some famous plays and the students will have to find their own creative way to best direct a scene that also includes their own flair of style in it. They will learn what it means to “make a picture” onstage and how to make the scene visually appealing to look at. We will also be focusing on how to work and communicate with actors without directly telling them how to act.
