What Does a Director Do?

🌟CAREER SPOTLIGHT🌟

At Imagineer, we prioritise career development for our participants.

Inspired by our next Transformations Explore workshop with Kitty Benford, we thought it’d be helpful for you to know what a Director is and does!

A director is responsible for the overall creative vision of a show and for bringing a playwright’s words to life on stage

Responsibilities include:

  • overseeing live theatre productions during all phases: casting calls to rehearsals to performances
  • guiding actors in a direction to create a story
  • overseeing the production team & ensuring all elements – acting, design, and technical aspects work well together
  • programming and budgeting
  • publicising the production
  • interpreting a musical score

Join the workshop to hear more about what a Director is, how to tackle a script, work with other arts professionals and learn about how Kitty developed a career in directing.
