Stage Directions
Stage Directions are given by the Director during the normal
course of the rehearsal process. During the period of time when the
Director is "Blocking" the show.
"Blocking" a scene is accomplished when the actors are given directions
that help the scene to progress, and by facilitating the movement of the
play. As a result the movement of the actors help to convey what effect
the Director is going for in that scene.
The diagram below will give you a reference to understand the
Director's instructions. On stage your viewpoint is reversed from that
of the audience, and you must learn to take this viewpoint. As an actor
your viewpoint is facing the audience. This is the most important
thing that you can remember when taking and following stage direction.
