Planning as a Director with Lucie Dawkins

Part of SCRUM Theatre's West London Young Creatives programme, a series of workshops and a facilitated networking event, focussing on vital practical skills for 18-30 year olds from West London* interested in or taking their first steps or developing into a career in theatre.

In this workshop, you will explore how to prepare for your first day in a rehearsal room. You will work with Lucie and other local, young creatives to plan an approach to leading a project as a Director. There will be an opportunity for Q&A with Lucie and to learn more about professional theatre direction.

Lucie Dawkins is one of SCRUM's founding members, and works as Co-Lead and resident director for the company. She has taught at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Barbican, and is an associate director with Krymov Lab London and Cheek by Jowl. Lucie hosts the theatre podcast 'Not True, But Useful...', and collaborated with Declan Donnellan on the new book The Actor and The Space. She holds an MFA in Directing from the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, where she was the Cullman Scholar in Directing '18. When she's not in the theatre, Lucie is a freelance curator, creating live and digital interventions in museums around decolonising collections and accessibility for young people.
