Thread Name: BS: I want to be a director
Subject: BS: I want to be a director
Hi - I stumbled across your website and thought I'd ask you for some tips as you seem to know about EVERYTHING! I am 17 and I am really really interested in becoming a director. I have done some (a very little) directing at college and I'm studying drama and english, I also am involved in local theatre groups so I have had the opportunity to work with several different directors. I am fascinated with how different the approaches have been of the directors I have worked with, and I have very much enjoyed putting a few short pieces together at college. Unfortunately for my final exam there is a design and acting option but no direction option so I can't develop this further at college - and I don't want to have to wait until I go to uni. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to get involved with directing and how to go about getting started?
