On Directing: Interviews with Directors | |
The profession of directing is barely a century old. On Directing considers the position of the director in theater and performance today. What is a director? How do they begin work on a play or performance? What methods are used in rehearsal? Is the director an enabler, a collaborator or dictator? As we enter the new millennium, is the very concept of directing under increasing threat from changes in thinking and practice? The full diversity of today's approaches to directing are explored through a series of interviews with leading contemporary practitioners. On Directing is a landmark book about the director's craft.

As a young director, I found this to be a fairly dissapointing book, but nonetheless worthwhile due to its inclusion of many powerful British directors. The interviews are spotty at best -- it is clear that a questionnaire was circulated and then followed up. There also is very little insight given to the working processes of each director interviewed. One to have if you must know about Phyllida Lloyd and Annie Castledine, but I would recommend Arthur Bartow's book "Director's Voice" any day over this one.
There is probably no better way to learn how to be a good director than to study good directors. This book is filled with anecdotes and advice from several of the best directors of stage and screen working in the world today. Peter Brook is featured as an author. His previous books, including "The Open Door" and "The Empty Space" are treasures in theatrical theory, and his experience as a founding director of the Royal Shakespaere Company in England puts him as one of the most accomplished directors to learn from. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to pick the brain of great directors in theatre and film.
