"This new book, play Directing: Analysis, Communication, and style, is a complete study of the processes of directing modern and historical plays in the contemporary theatre. It is a practical guide that shows the director how to get to the play's structure and how to communicate with actors and with designers. Play-analysis is not treated from a literary point of view but as a hard-core technique for setting up communication. The young director is made aware of his responsibility for the "guts" of a play as well as for its physical looks. He is led step by step through a technique of how to take a play apart and then how to put it together again, through a delicate process of maneuvering actors and designers into appropriate visual-oral expression of the play's values. The advanced director is guided through everyday on-the-job problems and is introduced to the nature of style in dramatic production. He is shown how to achieve individuality and how to convey these interpretations in play production. In developing this concept of directing, acting, and the use of the physical stage are closely interlinked. The director becomes the leader, the principal designer. Effective techniques of communication are essential. These are primarily improvisational-a method of actor-discovery and of director-communication that establish the aims, style, and individuality the director wishes to convey. Play Directing: Analysis, Communication, and Style describes the way a director needs to think and work in today's modern theatre."-Publisher

This Introduction is an exciting journey through the different styles of theatre that twentieth-century and contemporary directors have created. It discusses artistic and political values, rehearsal methods and the diverging relationships with actors, designers, other collaborators and audiences, and treatment of dramatic material. Offering a compelling analysis of theatrical practice, Christopher Innes and Maria Shevtsova explore the different rehearsal and staging principles and methods of such earlier groundbreaking figures as Stanislavsky, Meyerhold and Brecht, revising standard perspectives on their work. The authors analyse, as well, a diverse range of innovative contemporary directors, including Ariane Mnouchkine, Elizabeth LeCompte, Peter Sellars, Robert Wilson, Thomas Ostermeier and Oskaras Koršunovas, among many others. While tracing the different roots of directorial practices across time and space, and discussing their artistic, cultural and political significance, the authors provide key examples of the major directorial approaches and reveal comprehensive patterns in the craft of directing and the influence and collaborative relationships of directors.

Flexible and concise, Stage Directing details the seven steps that make up the directing process: selecting a work, analyzing and researching the playscript, conceiving the production, casting, beginning rehearsals, polishing rehearsals, and giving and receiving criticism. Each step is highlighted with valuable directing tips, as well as examples from modern and contemporary playscripts and productions. Exercises, objectives, and key terms put directing precepts to a practical test, revealing what is significant about each phase of the process. Over eighty charts, graphs, and photographs unite to exemplify the text. With a fresh voice and an engaging writing style, Patterson provides insightful questions, suggestions, and illustrations that define and invoke contemplation about the role of the director. Three original short plays provide the opportunity for hands-on analysis and the application of practical concepts. In a final essay, Patterson highlights the function and growing artistry of the director in the modern and postmodern theatre by concisely examining the history of the director.

An accessible guide to the theatre directing process of text-based theatre, from the choice of the play through to an encounter with an audience. Moving from how to choose a play to the opening night, A Beginner's Guide to Directing Theatre takes the reader, via a step-by-step approach, through various techniques, practitioners, methodologies and exercises that could be applied to text-based theatre. Through doing so, the reader comes to understand: - The differences between directing (the approach) and the director (the role), how that crosses over and ways to navigate this - A range of practices, methodologies and techniques for the differing and diverse styles, genres, playwrights and movements. i.e. the 'what' of directing - How to create inclusive, safe and diverse practices of casting and rehearsal methods By not providing one single methodology, but introducing readers to various methods, the author garners an understanding of how different plays, genres, styles and movements require their own approaches to reach opening night. Whilst not concentrating on devised or non-text based theatre, the book makes explicit how devising, experiential and improvisatory techniques can be embraced to inform the types of methodologies a director may embrace whilst approaching text-based work. From here, readers will be able to know which practitioners and directing methodologies they may wish to employ and will understand where to head next.
