Directors in Rehearsal: A Hidden World
I would recommend this. It's unusually thorough: Cole observes, documents, and theorizes about the rehearsal processes of ten iconic 20th century American directors (5 women and 5 men) working on classical and original work that ranges from the fairly conventional to the avant-garde. (Of course, it's avant-garde theater artists that have been or will be canonized'LeCompte, Wilson, Sellars etc.)
Cole does a good job documenting the strategies of the directors she observes and drawing attention to how their processes differ and where the relationship between process and product is vexed or ambiguous. Her consistent voice as observer and analyst throughout the book makes it easier for the reader to attempt a comparison of the various rehearsal processes than it would be piecing together accounts from various sources. That being said, as much credit as she deserves for her attempts to find unifying theories for the wide range of practice she presents, her theorizing is sometimes less interesting than the work of her subjects.
