Creative Writing: Script to stage: What does a director do? And the rest of the team?

The course might be of interest to member of amateur theatre groups who are interested in improving their backstage knowledge and skills. The course gives an opportunity to learn the proper terminology when talking about live performances, as well as giving you theatrical slang and insight into what goes on behind the stage door, through the rehearsal process and during the running of a production. You’ll learn about funding and marketing as important areas of modern theatre. There’s also opportunities to discuss issues facing modern theatre companies and buildings – gender and race neutral casting, maintaining old buildings and RAC, and others.

At the end of this course you will feel more confident about visiting your local theatre and maybe even getting involved yourself with a local amateur company – or even taking a script writing course to get your own work on stage!
