Director's Workshop

Told by an Idiot’s popular sell-out Director’s workshop returns for the sixth year running! The role of the Director in the devising process isn’t always straightforward but can be the most rewarding experience a Director can ever have. This fascinating and intensive workshop led by Told by an Idiot Co-founder and Artistic Director, Paul Hunter, will examine in depth the role of the Director during a collaborative writing project. By exploring some of the crucial aspects of devising, including establishing trust, creating a playful atmosphere, liberating the performer, generating material (verbal and physical), editing and the relationship with the creative team, the participants will gain a unique insight into Told by an Idiot’s devising process from a Director’s perspective. The course is suitable for established and emerging directors and performers who have an interest in directing.
