Special Projects

This aspect of our work is about developing groups of individuals and our own working practice.  

Introduction to Directing Designed to address the lack of diversity amongst the theatre community, this scheme encourages young adults from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds to consider directing as a viable career choice.

Springboard This project is specifically aimed at directors with less than a year's experience and offers a broad overview of the director's craft. Over a week, workshops cover a variety of topics such as devising, working with actors, dramaturgy, textual analysis and Shakespeare's verse.

Intensive workshops There are opportunities for a small number of directors to contribute to or observe research and development work on future Young Vic shows. These sessions take place over one or two weeks and provide an exciting chance to see work in its early stages.

Where appropriate, we advertise these opportunities via the Genesis Directors Network.
