The Director as Collaborator / Edition 1

Writing for directing students, Knopf (U. of Buffalo) offers a textbook on learning how to collaborate with others involved in a production, such as actors, designers, technical staff, and stage managers. He describes the connection between collaboration and leadership, core action, using collaboration in rehearsals, directing elements, and auditions and casting. Chapters incorporate exercises, such as role-playing, stimulation, and writing. Appendices contain useful forms, a glossary, and a bibliography of one-act plays.
