ISBN: 9780205295616.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay Directing is about the leader of an artistic enterprise--the play director in todays theatre. The book describes the various roles a director plays, from calling the plays to orchestrating and blending a symphony of actors and elements. The author emphasizes that the role of the director is not as a dictator, but as a leader of multiple craftsmen who look to the director for ideas that will give impetus to their fullest, most creative expressions. This book emphasizes that directing is not a finite and specific system of production, but rather is a venue for providing an intensive look at the structure of plays, of acting and actor-ownership, and of all the other crafts that together make a produced play. Readers are guided through the whole process of working on a play from style to analysis, including its relationship to moving pictures and television. They are encouraged to use this foundation as a basis from which to set their own goals as creative and dedicated leaders. For anyone interested in Play Direction or Theatre Study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44962958934069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0205295614","price":34.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780205295616_b3fdd3a6-d3fe-43cc-9bcb-18cfe00cc74d.jpg?v=1781365534","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/play-directing-analysis-communication-and-style-5th-edition-9780205295616","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
