From Theatre Studies Production Practice Form:
The production practice experience should be one in which you become an active participant in the creative process. Just as in the professional world of theatre, each director will approach the work in a unique way and, as a result, each production process will be a unique experience. You may suggest, for example, that you and the director plan for time in which you can share your thoughts about the process. Some directors will embrace this; others will not. Keep in mind also that being a keen observer to the process itself is a legitimate and hopefully productive learning experience. In short, keep your eyes and ears open and tuned in to the work at hand.
