THEATRE DIRECTING
Review of the Theatre Directing Program
WHY THEATRE DIRECTING IS UNIQUE AT NIPAI?
Become a director by performing, experimenting, learning and creating performances and shows. At the NIPAI, students learn from day one through hands-on experience.
Director is the person who is responsible for everything in the performance, who works with performers, composers, stage designers, costume designers, choreographers and other members of professional crew. Our teachers will demystify the craft of directing, and challenge you to master the art of performance making! Become professional director through immersion into the performing arts and exploration of all aspects of professional work.
In the creation of every program, we worked with students and faculty from around the world. We adapted the best ideas and elements from top university directing programs and designed an alternative which provides a thorough grounding in performance making, and is also flexible in meeting the diverse needs of our students.
We give an opportunity to learn directing through a variety of options, through a dynamic blend of InClass sessions, distant learning, workshops, and immediate application of gained knowledge. Students work on their projects from the very first day of their classes and will learn and explore the numerous visual, dramatic, and technical challenges that face directors. In addition to writing, analyzing plays, directing, and working with performers, students are constantly involved in multidisciplinary interactions. At our special Diploma Programs, students graduate after completing their main project - graduation performance which is developed under thorough guidance of our best faculty members and mentors. Ultimately, through intensive hands-on guidance and immediate application, our goal is to empower students to make their work on performances interesting, to make actors and crew work on performances interesting and make audience enjoy the show!
