THDA 350 - Directing for the Stage

This course prepares advanced theater students to direct public performances, and thus focuses on the acquisition of skills such as text analysis, storytelling, stage composition, and an understanding of visual elements. Students will also learn best collaborative practices with actors and designers, since the class unfolds in conversation with THDA 250 and THDA 360 and culminates in public performances at the Huber Seikaly Theater. Prerequisite(s): THDA 120 and THDA 235, or permission of the instructor. Every spring. (4 Credits)
