Teen Directing (Ages 14-18)

In this class, students explore the foundational elements of directing. The class begins with a focus on script analysis and set building. Next students explore the rehearsal process, communication between actors and directors, tools to provide constructive feedback, and The Barrow Group acting tools (found in An Actor’s Companion by Seth Barrish) via scene work from a full-length contemporary play.

Students will work as a director on one assigned scene from the full-length play selected by the instructor. Each student will also work as an actor in their fellow director’s scenes.

What makes The Barrow Group different from many other studios in NYC is that all of our teachers have gone through an intensive teacher training program. So when your child takes a class with us, the teacher has trained for years at The Barrow Group in our specific approach.

What sets The Barrow Group School apart is our commitment to teacher training. Teaching artists have completed our intensive teacher training program and spent years studying and practicing our approach. When your teen takes a class with us, they are learning from a highly trained teaching artist dedicated to nurturing creativity, confidence, collaboration, and self-expression.
