Do you study Directing?

Question

Do people study as a career Directing and Producer?

Answer 1

It is consider a career, and you have to study it. You get lot's of money also.

Answer 2

Since this is the "theatre and acting" section, I'm going to assume that you weren't talking about directing for film.

Directing for the stage is absolutely a course of study at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. A competent director must be well-versed in all aspects of theatre, technical as well as artistic. In order to collaborate productively with designers (scenic, lighting, costume, sound, etc.), you have to know how those things work.

Most importantly, naturally, you have to be a good analyst of dramatic texts, and you have to be able to formulate a coherent "vision" of the script that you can then realize in production.

Lastly, of course, you have to understand the acting process THOROUGHLY; only then will you be able to give your performers the "prompts" they need to do their best work.

Sound like a lot? It is. Think of it this way: even though a good director delegates like crazy, he/she is ultimately responsible for every single thing that goes on the stage. If you do a poor job, you'll take the heat. And, if you do a fine job...the actors will usually soak up the lion's share of the kudos. But you'll know who was REALLY responsible...

Answer 3

Are you talking about theatre? This is 'Theatre and Acting". Colleges and Universities have programs in Theatre and in some one may specialize in directing. Some just specialize in Performance which usually includes acting and directing. I don't know about producing.
