Courtney Self, Observer | Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation

There is no criticism I could possibly make of the SDCF Observership Program. It provided me with an unmatchable set of circumstances where I could not only witness a master (Susan Stroman) in the field I’m embarking upon, but also learn from a bevy of other aspects of the craft I did not foresee. My experience was, in short, life-changing.

Founded in 1965, Stage Directors and Choreographers Workshop Foundation (SDCF) exists to foster, promote and develop the creativity and craft of stage directors and choreographers. SDCF’s goals are to provide opportunities to practice the crafts of directing and choreography; to gather and disseminate craft and career information; to promote the profession to emerging talent; to provide opportunities for exchange of knowledge among directors and choreographers; to increase the awareness of the value of directors’ and choreographers’ work, and to convene around issues affecting theatre artists.

SDC Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit organization under section 501(c)3 organization of the Internal Revenue Code, SDC Foundation welcomes your charitable gift or grant to help realize our mission and support the work of aspiring and established directors and choreographers.
