Three cycles of analysis (different in nature): preproduction, rehearsals, postproduction.
Featured Pages: Production and Glossary (a must for every directory?) Each character must be established: 5Ws (acting). Plus, the directorial take. Working the costume designer. From "understanding" to visualization and physicalization. Actors: Mater-Gesture, vocalization (accent, etc.), walk.
vTheatre: postmodern project

Plyscript analysis is from (my) director's POV. Even the etextbook on script analysis I consider to be aimed at actors, directors (a nd maybe designers as well).[ Start working on the show ten years ahead of rehearsing it! ]It has to be done together with developing the concept (historical and current connotations).
You should read pages on Pre-production period: Pre.
If your homework is not done, don't go for rehearsals, please!
You have to "live" with the play, director. You have to marry it!
Lines of analysis
* Dramatic (understanding the form, the meaning of the play, according to Aristotle's 3 structural principles)* Character Analysis (for Actors)
* Designers (set, light, sound -- I began to make pages for each)

Spring 2003 Don Juan
In this directory and others, while working on the show (before, during and after) I try to form the system for student-directors (what to ask yourself, how to approach different aspect of production and etc.) -- I hope that going from one showcase (3 Sisters, Hamlet, Wilde) I can find the matrix of "building a show."
There are the shows I directed I cannot use the spripts on the web (Island, Reckless, Who Is Afraid of virginia Woolf, Dangerous Liaisons), but the directors work remain the same. See notes pages in production directories, where I talk to myself.
