The Freedom Theatre is proud to invite all professionals interested in a Director’s Workshop with Di Trevis.
From May 6-10 (with a break on Friday), we offer an intensive workshop in which the concept of directing will be studied profoundly. Along with the study the workshop participants will be doing practical work with The Freedom Theatre’s acting students and be challenged to direct them in scenes prepared for the workshop.
About Di Trevis:
Di Trevis was the first woman to run a company at Britain’s Royal National Theatre. In 2000 she adapted for the stage, with Harold Pinter, Pinter’s unfilmed cinema adaptation of Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past. The production, which transferred to the Olivier stage in 2001, was described as “ravishing” by critic Nicholas de Jongh in the Evening Standard and won an Olivier Award.
Trevis has also worked extensively at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal Opera House.
Trevis has had a long-standing affiliation with the US, directing and teaching in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Pittsburgh.
For over a decade, Trevis has been teaching actors and directors in her international workshops. She has taught in the UK, the US, France, Germany, Austria, Palestine and Cuba. Gary Oldman, Kenneth Branagh and Rupert Everett have all passed through her workshops and she has a following of young actors in London who regularly attend her Sunday workshop. Between 2003-7, Trevis was Head of Directing at Drama Centre London.
Trevis published her own book, Being a Director: A Life in Theatre in 2011 and more recently a chapter on Brecht along with several contributors published in 2014.
