Directors Teach Directing

Conversations on Practice and Pedagogy

Tom Dugdale

Performing Arts / Theater / Direction & Production

Directors Teach Directing offers a rare, intimate look inside the classrooms and pedagogy of today's most respected teachers of stage directing from around the world.

Through a series of in-depth interviews, as well as a compilation of the exercises that these instructors have found most impactful in the classroom, the book collects and explores pedagogical strategies and rehearsal techniques that have sustained the creative processes of some of today's most ground-breaking director-teachers.

Teachers featured in the book include K.J. Sanchez, Kym Moore, Park Gun-hyung, Anne Bogart, Katie Mitchell, Lileana Blain-Cruz and Yuri Kordonsky, representing the Yale School of Drama, Columbia University, the Korea National University of Arts and Royal Holloway University, among other esteemed institutions worldwide.

While much has been written on the art of directing, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in teaching theatre directing to the next generation.

Tom Dugdale is Associate Professor of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts at Ohio State University, USA, and teaches directing, devising and acting. He has himself directed more than thirty theatre productions across the USA and in Europe and his academic research focuses on directing pedagogy and community-engaged performance. He is the author of Directing Your Heart Out: Essays for Authenticity, Engagement, and Care in Theatre (Methuen Drama, 2023).
