The 10-week directing intensive, open to actors, directors, and playwrights, focuses on the elements of storytelling as well as collaboration between actors and directors. This program includes exploration of text analysis and structure, the rehearsal process, laboratory work, and the resources available to the theater artist in New York.
Students direct their own projects and perform in their classmates' work.
Each week a professional director, actor, or playwright works with the class, providing a current perspective on New York theater. The program culminates in a presentation of final projects for an invited audience. Led by Marleen Pennison , other faculty and guests include Fritz Ertl , Cecilia Rubino , Michael Krass , Anne Kaufman, and Rebecca Berg.
