"Renowned theatre and film director Nancy Meckler delves into her hugely varied experiences in the rehearsal room and shares examples of some of her tried-and-tested "tools" that she utilises when bringing a play to life. Meckler encourages you to interrogate, play, experiment and to use her methods as a starting point to begin creating your own unique directing toolkit. This book therefore is not intended to offer a singular step-by-step process, but to empower you to find your own style. The examples are drawn from her experience directing a range of work from classic plays, including work by Chekov, Brecht and Shakespeare, to new writing, including work by Pam Gems and Sam Shephard, and in a wide range of renowned theatres, including the RSC, National Theatre, Royal Court and a number of the UK's regional theatres. Drawing on her methods of improvisation, interrogation and exploration, Meckler details how she approaches: text concept creative design elements actors ensemble genre relationships with designers designing for a specific space casting process rehearsal scheduling working with contemporary and first-time writers working on comedy ... among many other areas. She offers specific techniques along with practical guidance to complement a director's work at any stage of their career. The author's approachable and relatable writing style enables an in-depth look into how she works with actors and the many ways in which she may approach a new project while also providing us with a unique insight into her own wealth of experience over a remarkable career as an award-winning and internationally celebrated director"--Provided by publisher.
