StoneCrabs Theatre is now recruiting
for The Young Directors Training Programme. 
Our vocational training for young directors has been now running since
2005 and provides participants with a solid programme in which they can develop
their creative potential as makers of theatre.

 

 Not only will you work with leading
theatre practitioners – you will deliver and direct a final practical project
at The Albany Theatre in South East London.

 The programme consists of a series of practical workshops
and tutorials towards developing organisational, critical, directorial skills
by exploring the nature of a director’s work as well as production, arts
management and backstage work.  The
sessions are led by StoneCrabs Artistic Directors, Franko Figueiredo and Kwong
Loke, and various StoneCrabs Theatre Company Associates. Guest theatre
practitioners are also brought in to aid the discovery of an international
variety of theatre traditions and techniques and to assist you in unlocking
your creative potential.

 This
is a FREE opportunity for
aspiring theatre directors and those
who are at the very beginning of their career.
