= Your Task... =

Now you have decided who is the Director and Artistic Director, you will need to research what these roles involve. You will have to decide what play you are going to pitch. You will have to:

Firstly, write a one page letter to the producer (the person who is going to say YES or NO to your play.) Make sure this is brief and covers: where you want to stage it; a small overview of the plot; a budget; why you want to direct this show; how is the play relevant.

Then you will need to begin research on your play. Look at things such as relevant quotes, the show as a whole, metaphors, socio-historical themes the time it was written, a break down of the main characters.

Keep these all written down in a log book.

Start thinking about what your role entails, the artisitic director is in charge of costumes, set design, lighting plans etc. The director is in charge of the essence and the message that the audience recieves. **Collaboration** and **Negotiation** are KEY FACTORS.
