Director, Performing Arts - Part-Time, Temporary

Under the supervision of the CoPA Production Manager, the part-time, temporary director for performing arts sets the vision of the production for everyone involved. The director will interpret the script/concept/score/show, collaborate in casting the production and with designers for aesthetic and artistic decisions, plan and lead acting/blocking rehearsals, and generally guide the performers in their work during rehearsals. The director will be expected to do many careful readings/reviews of the script/concept/score/show, from which they will provide a detailed study and analysis of the script/concept/score/show to be produced, including an individual vision of the script/concept/score/show intentions, which will form the core of their interpretation. The director’s choices will be vetted by CoPA Production Management for feasibility and the Department Chair/Artistic Director for artistic content. The Dean of CoPA retains the final say in production matters.
