Young Directors Festival is a platform for practical development of the next generation of theatre makers bringing an eclectic mix of contemporary short plays to Deptford and London-wide audiences
The project provides young theatre makers with a vital Launchpad into their careers as directors. It gives the all-important chance to professionally direct their own work and develp creative skills, explore artistic visions and take ownership for creating their own work. This blog from one of our past directors explains why this programme is not just important but essential: http://www.ayoungertheatre.com/blog-why-this-programme-isnt-just-important-but-essential/
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Access to training is essential in building skills, CVs and contacts. Artists, in the broadest sense, are shaped by their experiences. The project provides practical training, you learn by doing it, participants will have session on arts management, marketing, producing, directing, curating, budgeting, fundraising and will apply their learning through producing their own Theatre Festival. They will gain directing credits for their CV, go through a real-life process of producing and directing their own play as well as a festival and weighing up real-life considerations in terms of the benefits they bring to the local community and themselves. The programme is delivered free of charge, but participants have to fundraise a designated amount that will benefit the next group/festival. This is particularly important for creatives who have not come through MA directing courses or placements with large theatres, to be noticed and develop their voices.
