The Directors Program provides a great range of opportunities for directors, exploring process, practice and production. The activities differ in numbers of participants, day time/evening scheduling, and length in order to cater for as many different needs and interests as possible.

Activities include:

Skills workshops: A range of workshops are led by both our core team and outside practitioners.  Past practitioners include Peter Brook, Rufus Norris, Luk Percival, Declan Donnellan, Phyllida Lloyd, Richard Jones and Deborah Warner.

Directors clinics: As many directors will produce their own work in the early stages of their career, other sessions cover subjects such as fundraising, obtaining rights, producing, casting and taking work to Edinburgh.

Peer-led projects: Members of the Genesis Directors’ Network also have many skills to share and we regularly support projects led by network directors for network directors. These can be one off workshops or ongoing projects tailored to the needs of a specific group.  These have included Script Nights to develop the participants’ knowledge of modern and classic texts and Fresh Works - an opportunity to present work in the early stage of development to other directors.  If you would like to suggest a project please contact us at directorsprogramme@youngvic.org.

Free and subsidised tickets: We offer free/discounted tickets to all our shows, and organise discussions around Young Vic productions.

Development opportunities: Throughout the year we offer directors a supportive environment in which to try out ideas, work with actors and explore the process of theatre making.  We provide travel expenses for each practitioner taking part and provide administrative resources if needed. The emphasis is on process, with a sharing at the end providing an invaluable opportunity for feedback.
