ABOUT THE COURSE
Join award-winning Artistic Director Emma Rice, and Associate Director Laura Keefe, for an exclusive insight into Emma’s process.
In this weekend-long Masterclass, Emma will guide participants through her approach to adapting different source materials for the stage. Using group and individual tasks, this course will explore how to develop a unique vision and theatre language for your work.
We're looking for theatre-makers (aged 18+) with some experience of directing live theatre, of any length or scale. We'll prioritise applicants who work, or want to work, as professional directors and particularly those who want to direct their own writing.
