Abstract

This study focuses on exploring and analyzing the construction of identity and creative vision within the creative processes inherent to theater direction and production in the course “Integrated Theater Practice III” for fifth-year students in the Theater Education program at the Faculty of Arts (UNICEN) in Tandil. To this end, interviews were conducted with the six directors who went through these processes in 2025, presenting their respective theater projects in the Ciclo Carne Fresca series. This is why this study proposes an approach from the perspective of the student-directors themselves, understanding the practice of theater directing within a learning context where particular ways of working with artists, constructing scenes, organizing rehearsals, and finding one’s own poetics are observed.
