Actor-Director Diploma route
Who is this route designed for?
Directing demands multiple skills and personal qualities: intellectual capacity and imagination, resourcefulness and flexible thinking, intuition and self-awareness among others. A director needs to be able to work with various different kinds of artists involved in directing – actors of course; but also writers, designers, musicians, production specialists.
This route is designed for those who want to direct as well as act; who want to develop an understanding of technical and creative story-telling skills for theatre and film - building on practical experience of the acting process gained as an integral member of the acting group.
