Course for Director - Lazio Region
Three-weekly frequency: Tuesday and Thursday at 4pm-8pm / Saturday 10am-2pm / 3pm-7pm

The Course for "Director" offers a training that deals with the different dramaturgies starting from an analysis of the various styles and the exercise of scenic staging, to reach a comparison with theatrical, cinematographic, visual and digital art languages through the study of the methodologies of director's creation and direction of the actors. The course is aimed at those who, having previous training in the field of acting and interpretation, already have an awareness of stage languages and want to specialize professionally in the field of direction, with the deepening of technical and artistic skills and the experimentation of directorial techniques in the different areas of the show.

Course Structure

The course lasts one year, divided into three didactic cycles, and foresees a three-weekly compulsory attendance with 9/12 lessons per week. The didactic structure is articulated by approaching the various theatrical genres: tragedy, comedy, modern drama and avant-gardes, through text analysis, practical exercises and improvisations. At the same time, the study of directorial methodologies (realistic, symbolic, expressionist, choreographic) and character construction techniques is developed along with an in-depth analysis of the technical and organizational aspects necessary for a professional application of creative skills. The professional qualification title at the end of the study path for "EU 5th Level Director", is issued by the Lazio Region with Del. No. 770/2002, valid throughout the national territory and, since 2005, recognized by the European Community.
