I'm not exactly one hundred percent sure how to answer this question as I'm sure my views will change and deepen as we progress through our IB Theatre Arts play this year! Right now, I think in a broad sense, a director oversees and orchestrates a production come into fruition. He/she does this by devising a mis en scene or an artistic vision to unify different aspects of production - lighting, set design, music etc. The director acts as the glue of the production, helping these elements coalesce into a new world the audience can venture into. Why directing? I remember Mrs. Moon handed us a sheet detailing the devising of a play through the use of creating new universes or worlds. Directing is the map bringing different lands together to form a new world.
