Summary
This degree will give you contemporary, practical training, to become an integral part of the next generation of theatre directors.
Through skills classes and project-based learning, you will be given the time, resources and rehearsal room access you need to develop your craft.
Teaching will be delivered by industry practitioners and masterclass guests, with mentorship and placement opportunities. Each is designed to support you in clearly defining your artistic voice, aligning your passions, skills, and ambitions ready for a portfolio career.
You’ll develop the skills required to lead a company and creative team, coach actors, shape theatrical performance and ensure aesthetic integrity in the staging of work. Working with visiting professional teams in a range of rehearsal settings, you’ll further your theatrical literacy, vocabulary and find your own voice as a director. As a graduate, you’ll be able to lead a company of actors and creatives, in realising a singular vision for a theatrical production as a theatre director.
Collaboration is at the very heart of what we do at Leeds Conservatoire. You’ll share core modules with students from the other Theatre MAs, generating new work in a collaborative environment. You’ll work on developing work for the Leeds Theatre Festival and have access to rehearsal rooms where undergraduate students create their annual season of live performances. Through these projects and creative relationships, you’ll establish performances and a creative network, ready to transfer into your professional life.
The MA Directing leverages the conservatoire’s strong relationships with regional theatres and companies. Our students have worked with productions at partner venues such as Leeds Playhouse, Slung Low, and Leeds Heritage Theatres. These connections not only ensure program relevance but also broaden your professional network. During your placement, you’ll contribute to both external and internal productions. The School of Drama's season of live performances offers extensive access across two actor-musician productions, four plays, and three musicals.
