This Part-Time Academic will be responsible for all aspects of teaching and administering THEA 3201.03 Directing for the Stage class from January 1 to April 30, 2027 (Winter Term 2027).
This course is an organic and practical extension of the work in the second-year level courses THEA 2901 (Dramaturgy: The Art of Developing Plays) and 2902 (Play Analysis for Directors). It assumes that the students already understand the basic principles of text analysis for performance. The class content is structured to cover all aspects of a typical rehearsal process, including advice on how to interact with actors, designers, and stage technicians. As much of the work as possible will be hands-on and will lead to several practical projects, at least one of which will ideally also be presented to the public.

The instructor will be responsible for all aspects of teaching and administering the course, including preparing and delivering lectures, marking student assignments, developing course content on Brightspace, and submitting grades. In addition to course time, the instructor is required to hold office hours for student consultations.

The instructor is expected to announce the end-of-term student ratings/evaluations of instruction. This position reports to the Director of the Fountain School of Performing Arts.

All offers of employment as a Part-Time Academic are conditional upon sufficient student enrolment in the course and approval by the University.
