The Directors Charitable Foundation
supporting directors of stage & screen, celebrating their craft
Welcome to the DCF website, illustrated with some brilliant cartoons by Alan Parker. Explore the site to learn what we are doing on directors’ welfare, cultural support for schools via our Workshop Scheme, and the craft of directing on stage and screen. Come to our First Craft Debate with Phyllida Lloyd (see Latest News below). The Foundation is here to serve the directing community, and all who care about what directors do. Why not get involved, or Donate?
