Intro to Directing Sketch & Improv 

This 5 week class will get you into the process of directing actors for your own sketches, other pieces of theatrical work selected by the teacher and improvised scenes.

There will also be an opportunity to bring in your own sketch or improvised pieces to work on directing stage compositions or formats.

Amey will introduce you to approaches that help you while directing people in sketches and improvised pieces. 

She will also stretch you to find creative ways to stage written theatrical pieces that may seem simple but will allow everyone in class to get creative and deliberately hone in on their individual voice.
