Hi,

First - equity cards. Vicious circle. You need one to get a job but you need a job to get one! Aaargh!!!!

hehe, anyway - I've only found those two places (Rose Bruford and Drama Centre London) that do a directing course that isn't a post-grad though. I don't want a performing arts course. I don't want to be an actor.
Funnily enough there is a guy who lives on my road who teaches on the acting course there so I did have a word with him last night. He did mention that they are very keen on this slightly obscure founder (I've forgoten his name now) but that it is a good course for people who are dead set on becoming directors.

I did very much like the idea that in the first year the directors work with the BA acting students, but with a few differences (e.g. when they do voice coaching, the directors do text analysis). It also means that in following years you know what people's capabilities are for casting them.

I plan to go and look round and, if this guy I know can organise it, talk to someone who has just finished his first year on the directing course. And yes, I'll try and get to see some work.
Thanks for your help! :0)

C-Pattie. xx
