What is Directors JAM?
The JAM is a day-long workshop, performance, and celebration of local director-driven work in whichdirectors each devise a short piece with professional actors based on creative ingredients Pirronne provides in advance.
How does Directors JAM work?
Participating directors will meet their actors for the first time in space provided by Directors Gathering (DG) at the Bok School early in the day to create unique pieces of theatre.
