In February 2019, The North Wall and the Regional Theatre Young Director Scheme (RTYDS) ran an Introduction to Directing course for Oxfordshire-based young people who have an interest in directing for the stage.
RTYDS works to support people from under-represented communities to pursue a career in the arts. This course was open to individuals from low income backgrounds, with household incomes of less than £30,000.
This was an opportunity for those considering a career in theatre directing, or already have had some experience but have faced social or financial barriers from pursuing it further.
Led by North Wall Co-Director Ria Parry, the course focused on the skills and resources individuals need to develop their craft. The course also included workshops with visiting directors and professional actors.
