The MA in Theatre Directing at the UEA is one of the longest established in the UK. Each year a very small number of Theatre Directing students are selected. All are encouraged to recognise that directing is a collaborative process.
One of the founding principles of the MA has been to establish a firm connection between the academic/critical study of dramatic texts and the director’s working with actors. We do not isolate theory from practice, but search continually for the points of intersection between the verbal, emotional and the physical. We aspire to do this both practically and through extensive technical reading.
To this end, you will regularly rehearse undergraduate student actors on scenes which are re-worked to bring out alternative aspects of the text. You will also learn about the philosophical and historical backgrounds to a variety of directing approaches, and how to apply them in practice. These ideas include many which are commonly used in directing and in actor training - e.g. Stanislavsky, Laban, Lecoq, Johnstone, Meisner.
