FUNDAMENTALS OF DIRECTING -Developing a creative process
Taught by Jonathan Berry
Sundays, March 22nd, 2026 – May 3rd 2026, 10 AM – 1 PM
$299

CLASS DESCRIPTION:
A director invites collaborators to be in conversation with the play. Over six weeks, we will explore how to clarify our own perspective and aesthetic while learning how to invite other collaborators into the creative process. We will learn preparation techniques and engage in conversations that will result in a clearer, more cohesive, and ultimately more effective production. Participants will choose the play they would like to explore, and we will take that play through the process leading to a first rehearsal.

This is a great class for people who are showing early interest in directing, as well as more established directors looking to clarify their own collaborative process.
