Stepping into Directing

What does a director actually do? How do they pick and research a play, run auditions and plan rehearsals? What does it mean to direct a show for KDC, or elsewhere? This masterclass will offer budding directors practical skills and approaches to the art of directing for the stage. Come along to hear Stephen Reimer (Artistic Director of KDC Theatre and director of KDC's “W;t” and “The Bus”) and Saskia van 't Hoff (director of KDC shows including “Kill Local”, “13”, and “Chatroom”) take you step-by-step through the journey from creative vision to opening night. Experienced directors interested in brushing up on their skills and/or learning more about directing for KDC are also welcomed to attend.

There will also be optional drinks afterwards in the Theatre Deli bar where prospective directors and assistant directors can mingle, meet the KDC team and informally discuss potential show pitches.
