About Writing & Directing, BA - at Collarts
Are you a born storyteller? Our Writing & Directing course is designed for those who can’t wait to write, direct, and create original work for the stage - or breathe new life into contemporary texts and the classics.
Our experienced lecturers, who are currently working in the industry as writers, directors, and award-winning theatre artists, will help you to find your voice and shape your own unique style.
This comprehensive course covers directing and production, theatre studies and dramaturgy, playwriting workshops and script assessing - helping you to build an in-depth knowledge of both writing and bringing a script to life as a director, while laying the blueprint for character, action, performance and production. Learn techniques in rehearsal room practices, directing actors, working with designers, guiding technicians in world-building and bringing transformative stories to life.
