MEDA 333 - Directing for Stage and Screen

4 credit(s)
A director shares his or her vision with collaborators and sees it through to a fully realized expression in time and space. In this course, students who aspire to work in theatre, film, and other media will learn skills and gain practice in responding to texts; developing robust concepts; communicating with actors, designers, and other collaborators; making eloquent staging choices to enhance storytelling; and managing multi-faceted projects. Throughout the semester, our touchstone will be the relationship between artistic vision and practical decision-making. We will also look at and learn from the work of seminal theorists and practitioners. Also listed as THEA 333.
