Abstract
Direction Scenework is a practical theatre exercise that enables students to develop professional skills in directing and performance creation. Through the staging of selected dramatic scenes, participants explore script analysis, actor–director collaboration, blocking, rhythm, spatial organization, visual storytelling, and audience engagement. The exercise emphasizes experimentation with directing methods while integrating design elements to create coherent theatrical presentations.
