    Act 4, Scene 1: Script Analysis - Why It Matters (and When It Doesn't)

    Script analysis isn’t just homework; it is the map you build before you ask an ensemble to follow you into the unknown. In this scene, we move analysis from an academic exercise to a vital leadership tool. You’ll learn how to set surgical goals for your preparation, whether you’re focused on the structural skeleton or the emotional safety of your team, so that your process is grounded in the text’s visceral truth.

    Act 4, Scene 3: Genre & Style Expectations - How Form Shapes Function

    Every production is a social contract between the stage and the audience. This scene breaks down western genres like Farce and Tragedy, while also expanding into global forms and speculative fiction. We examine how style (from Realism to Polyphonic Storytelling) provides the texture that brings these genres to life, helping you navigate audience expectations with intentionality.To access all of the resources discussed in this video for free, visit www.deconstructingdirecting.com

    Act 4, Scene 7: Working with a Dramaturg - Defining the Role and the Relationship

    A dramaturg is a fellow guardian of the play. In this scene, we define the boundaries of this essential partnership—from textual research to process observation. We’ll look at how to build a shared collaboration framework that empowers the dramaturg to be a critical partner, ensuring your production remains grounded in structural and cultural reality.

    Act 3, Scene 1: The Power of Reckless Kindness

    Explore a foundational principle of the Deconstructing Directing: Reckless Kindness. This scene breaks down the difference between "niceness" (which avoids conflict) and "kindness" (which uses radical specificity to build trust). Learn to balance a high regard for your collaborators with the necessary risks of leadership, transforming kindness from a soft sentiment into a strategic, operational tool.To access all of the resources discussed in this video for free, visit www.deconstructingdirecting.com

    Act 3, Scene 2: Dealing with Disrespect

    When conflict or friction pulls at your rehearsal, how do you keep the process moving? This scene examines the physiological reality of being "triggered" as a director and offers the DESC scripting framework to address behavior without sacrificing kindness. Move beyond the fear-based ultimatum and learn to set structural boundaries that protect both the art and the artist.To access all of the resources discussed in this video for free, visit www.deconstructingdirecting.com

    Act 3, Scene 3: Collaboration vs. Control

    Collaboration isn’t the absence of conflict; it’s how you handle the "pinch points" when they arise. This scene helps you distinguish between Communication Failures (which require repair) and Power Struggles (which require boundaries). Learn to invite curiosity into your dialogue, helping you loosen your grip on control while ensuring every member of the team feels heard and aligned.To access all of the resources discussed in this video for free, visit www.deconstructingdirecting.com

    Act 3, Scene 4: Casting Conundrums

    Examine the subjective myth of the "best actor" and reimagine casting as a complex, ethical puzzle. This scene provides a framework for "drawing the line" regarding representation and marginalized identities, moving past survivorship bias into a practice of Reckless Transparency. Learn to create audition notices that signal your values and build an ensemble based on a shared artistic vision.To access all of the resources discussed in this video for free, visit www.deconstructingdirecting.com

    Act 3, Scene 5: Navigating Neurodivergence & Disability

    Shift your perspective from the Medical Model of disability ("fixing" the person) to the Social Model ("fixing" the environment). This scene introduces the habit of Access Needs, providing language to ensure every artist—neurodivergent, disabled, or otherwise—has the "ramps" they need to participate fully. Discover how representation on stage can move from "cripface" to authentic, brave belonging.To access all of the resources discussed in this video for free, visit www.deconstructingdirecting.com
