The residency is a 2 day series of events and workshops aimed at emerging directors working in theatre and based in the North East of England. A brilliant opportunity to develop your directing skills alongside local artists in a relaxed, supportive and inspiring environment! The two day event, led by Maria Crocker and Mark Calvert, will include an opportunity to work with 4 actors on a selection of texts, a skills sharing workshop and an open discussion about some of the practical and emotional challenges that directors sometimes have to face.
