Unit Two - The Director's Notebook |
'The director’s vision is first fed by his or her detailed analysis of the script to be staged. After quite a few re-readings of the script, the director will begin to develop his or her vision of the playwright’s intention.

'A theatre director has responsibility for the overall practical and creative interpretation of a dramatic script or musical score. They are involved in the whole process, from the design and pre-production stages, right through to the final performance. Directors work closely with their creative and production teams, the performers and the producer to create a performance which connects with the audience. They therefore need to be able to coordinate effectively across a range of disciplines and with artistic vision.' https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/theatre-director 'The way you tell a story through action, movement, music, design, sound and lighting is just as important as the words.'

'To decide upon interpretation, the director must analyze the script to discover the play's structure and meanings. Without understanding, the director cannot make choices. He or she seeks to know what the play is about and to understand each character in terms of both the script and the demands that character places upon the actor. The director must be able to envision the play's atmosphere or mood and know how to actualize this in terms of design and theatrical space. And, finally, the director must be able to see the play in terms of both physical and verbal action.'
