Directors need to plan everything, but then be willing to throw it all out the window as we make discoveries in rehearsal. This workshop develops the "director's impulse" to tell stories, and builds our confidence to create spontaneously in collaboration with performers. We will work with short, 1-minute "blank scenes" conceptualizing, casting, and rehearsing theatrical moments. No preparation allowed! This is going to the gym for directors. Note that participants will be both directing AND performing in each other's work. Actors with an interest in the directing process are welcome as well.
