Since the theatre has developed new trends so did directing evolve into different styles. A certain director will have to adapt one specific style to match the theatre performance he/she will be directing. He can either be the dictator, negotiator, creative artist or confrontationalist. The dictator needs to assert his role in a strong manner by means of dominating the theatre. During rehearsals he most of the time controls everyone. The negotiator is a somewhat open-minded about the flow of the act and is open for the ideas and improvisations of the actors and the production team. Meanwhile, the creative artist works on knowing the inputs of the other individuals in the play but still decides on whether or not to use them. The confrontationalist will debate with the production team and actors when they give their ideas and he eventually comes up with the finished product.

It is said that the act of directing emanated from the need for one person who will supervise hundreds of individuals and create a complex stage for the theatre productions by Georg II, then Duke of Saxe-Meiningen for the Meininger Company. The elaborate productions were hard to manage and needed someone to oversee the matters and organize things. Thus, the director emerged. And from this platform, many generations later, the courses detailing the roles and conducts of a theatre director will follow.
