Want Directing Experience (Courses/Work/Observation)
Fri, 14 Aug 2009, 06:19 pmHello theater community!
I'm a 19 year ol' chap who's aspiring to become a director, but I'm having trouble finding courses to gain some skills. I'm currently doing a Live Production, Theater and Events course at Tafe, but that has very little directing parts to it (It's more lighting/sound/stage management).
So basically I'm asking 'What is the best way to gain experience?'. I'm happy if its University/Tafe courses, or if there is somewhere for new playwrights to join new directors and actors who put on small shows. Whatever!
Thanks for any help!

The same answer as usual.
Join your nearest Community Theatres - as many as you can find. Be involved in as many productions as you can, in whatever capacity available. Observe and learn. Then ask if you can have a go at directing. Doing is the best way to learn.
