In some cases, their cumulative output may not be considered ‘complete’ without one or the other! CastingĪrguably the most important part/s of a director’s team are the actors they choose to cast. If a director finds an affinity for a particular creative, they may engage them in multiple projects over a number of years. Directors always have final say over the creative aspects of a production, but will work to the advisement of the experts in each discipline. Other, auxiliary roles may be filled depending on the scale of the project, such as a videographer or a dramaturg. The creative team will consist of the stage manager (who runs all technical and logistical aspects of a production), designer (who may oversee set and costume, or work in a team), lighting designer and sound designer.
If they behave unprofessionally, or show indifference, it can affect the mood and performance of the entire company.ĭepending on a director’s process, a director will either cast their play or assemble their creative team first. As the head of the production, they lead by example how cast and creatives conduct themselves.
The director also sets the emotional temperature and creative climate of the rehearsal room. Budgetary restrictions, creative differences, low morale-these are all threats to a director’s vision, and obstacles they must navigate. And as the production comes together, it’s their job to ensure that this vision is not compromised. Often, this process of the director determining their creative vision begins long before there is a stage, or rehearsal room, or even actors. This includes the audience, who need strong, clear storytelling lest they lose interest and cease to care. It’s the director’s responsibility to develop and maintain a creative vision, to ensure that all involved are heading in the same direction. Without some kind of thematic and stylistic unity, an otherwise excellent play can become a disastrous production: messy, confusing, over-wrought. In truth, it’s vital to the work of a successful director. “Creative vision” is one of those terms that can elicit an eye-roll amongst creatives.
Some also prefer to write or create their own. Most will direct work by existing writers-plays proven to have an audience, or something by an author such as Shakespeare whose work is in the public domain-although some directors do work with writers to develop new work.

A director may be hired directly by a professional theatre company, or pitch a project to either a company or producer that they want to work on bringing to the stage. Pre-Production Finding A ProjectĪt different levels of the industry, directors may have more or less power with which to find and finance their own projects. Theatre, at its very best, is a collaborative process and a theatre director will put together a great team to support their vision. They also oversee creative choices on stage such as costume, design, lighting and sound-although these decisions are made in conjunction with the other creatives involved. Their goal is to bring out the best performance from the actors and tell the story of the play in a compelling way. A theatre director is in charge of the creative vision of a theatre production.
