Theatre Directing Certificate Distance Program
PROGRAM OUTLINE
The NIPAI's 1-Year Online Theatre Directing Program " is designed as a fully distant learning program and the courses content and teaching methods are on a par with those offered in our blended courses, yet designed to support learning flexibility and access from around the world.. The year is divided into two semesters, depending on the start date. Students in the program receive hands-on distant tasks, materials and learning sessions to give you tools and empower your skills to a professional level.
The curriculum integrates intensive study in all the major directing disciplines, including play analysis, dramatical structure, composition, rehearsal techniques, ensemble building, sound and design concept development and many other.
The program enables you to acquire an informed experience, knowledge, skills, tools and understanding of the theatre directing profession. This program is for people who have the passion to plunge into theatre directing. Distant learning offers an incredible flexibility with the same qualification as you would receive from the blended learning course at NIPAI, still emphasizing on a practical investigation of each topic.
Offering impressive learning flexibility, this program is ideal for ambitious professionals who travel for work, cannot attend campus or are looking to balance work and study to apply their learnings in real-time. As in all NIPAI programs, the one-year course emphasizes hands-on learning. We teach theatre directing practically through a sequence of tasks.

This system is specifically designed to avoid subjective assessments by lecturers.
