The Directors' Lab
The Directors' Lab is for emerging artists interested in directing
The Directors' Lab is a comprehensive mentorship programme led by Sam Scott. It is for emerging directors to learn and practice their craft, incorporating conversations with various industry professionals and allowing for practical experimentation of theories and techniques.
Directors' Lab participants are supported in attending theatre performances to engender their critical sense, and to open up discussions around theatre practice.
Graduates are potentially offered work within the Massive Company programme. Scotty Cotter co-directed The Wholehearted (2016), directed Chance to Ignite (2017) and is co-directing Babble (2020). Miriama McDowell co-directed The Island (2016), was a co-writer for Sightings (2018) and is writing our 2020 emerging artists’ production Te Whare Kapua | The Cloud House.
