This could include: directing of fringe work, directing of shows whilst at university, a directing or facilitation practice with community, amateur groups or young people, as well undertaking relevant training, i.e. introduction to directing foundation or short courses, participation in workshops or masterclasses with a focus on directing. Relevant experience also applies to candidates who have also worked in other areas of the industry – for example as an actor, technical creative, stage manager or producer – providing they can support this with evidence of the steps they have taken to develop their directing practice as outlined above. If English is not your first language, you will need to demonstrate English language proficiency through a relevant qualification, such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
