b. Discussing Impressive! You've done an
new outstanding job identifying the right
concepts words based on the presented
and pictures. Now, let's proceed to link
practicing your responses with the following
new skills questions.

1. Reflect on the most remarkable skit

or drama performance you either
witnessed or participated in within a
classroom setting.
Ma’am, the most remarkable skit or
drama performance I participated in within
a classroom setting was during your
activity which is ONE ACT PLAY.

Yes, very good. You really remember

our previous activity.

2. From your answer, what factors

should we take into account when
giving a performance in a classroom
or on stage?
Ma’am, during the performance, we
performers should consider our audience
and the space.

Alright, thank you. We should

consider everything at all costs, our
audiences if they are in a good space
and comfortable.
You've effectively established a
meaningful link by addressing the
previous activities. You're now fully
prepared for the discussion on various
staging methods.

WHAT IS STAGING?
Do you know what is staging? If
you've ever had the experience of
getting ready for a play in one of your
courses, I'm certain you've
encountered challenges. Did your
peers happen to forget their lines?
Was the stage or location too
cramped, or were you overlooked by
the audience? Regardless of the
specific difficulties you faced, this
lesson is designed to enhance your
preparedness, and the solution to that
lies in various staging techniques.
Now, what is staging? Staging involves the act of adjusting,
altering, or transforming the performance
environment in a drama or skit. The
objective of staging is to enhance the
overall presentation of your performance,
encompassing elements like the actors'
positions on stage, their actions and
motions, the backdrop, props, attire,
lighting, and sound effects.

DIFFERENT STAGING MODALITIES

1. STAGE MODIFICATIONS
Certainly, here are some of the
various types of theatrical stages as
described by Mendenhall (2017):
a. Proscenium Stage: This type
of stage resembles a
"window," with actors
performing exclusively for a
fixed audience situated in
front of them.

For example, our set up

today, you are my audience
and your focus is on me since
I am the only one that is in
front of you.

b. Thrust Stage: Typically raised

and enclosed by three sides
 with a stationary audience,
the fourth side serves as the
background.

c. End Stage: Similar to a thrust

stage, but the audience is
positioned solely in front of it,
rather than surrounding it.

d. Arena Stage: This theatre

stage is encircled by the
audience on all sides and is
often elevated to enhance
visibility.
e. Flexible Theater Stage: Resembling an
empty box, this stage allows for changes
Kindly read the definition of in both the audience's location and the
flexible theater stage, main stage based on the drama's
Anthony. requirements or the director's instructions.
The audience area is adaptable.

f. Profile Theater Stage: This stage

only has audiences seated on risers
on both of its sides and lacks a
background.

BLOCKING AND POSITIONING OF

PERFORMERS
The arrangement of actors on a stage
plays a significant role in evoking
emotional responses from the
audience. This is why understanding
the fundamental division of the stage
into the following sections, as
depicted below, is crucial.

AUDIENCE Ma’am it’s all about the people that are

from the class?

Yes, absolutely right. Please read the Next on the list is the positioning of the
definition of audience, class.
audience, which has a substantial impact
on the production dynamics. The
audience's location and arrangement
significantly influence the theatrical
process. When the audience is positioned
solely in front, actors primarily direct their
performance in that direction. However, if
the audience is spread across three other
areas, actors must be mindful of moving
around to engage and captivate their
attention (Roberts, 2017).

Thank you for reading.

In summary, the audience can serve

as a source of inspiration, feedback,
and influence on an actor's
performance. Their presence and
reactions play a crucial role in shaping
the overall quality and impact of a
theatrical or live performance.
Moving on to the last staging
modalities.
Ma’am, the use of script editing is to
SCRIPT EDITING check the lines if it is right and organized.
What do you think is the use of script Also, to know what exactly the lines of the
editing class? actors will say during the performance.

Indeed! This addresses the

importance of scriptwriters taking into
account the broader staging process.
As previously discussed, crafting a
script that provides direction for the
movements of actors greatly
enhances the fluidity and character
transitions on stage.

You're nearing the completion of this

 module. You've defined staging and
delved into the four staging
modalities. Now, let's review the key
insights you've gained. What are the
different stages according to
Mendenhall 2017, class?
Ma’am the different stages are
Proscenium Stage, Thrust Stage, End
Stage, Arena Stage, Flexible Theater
Stage, and Profile Theater Stage.

Ma’am, the four staging modalities are

modalities again class?

Amazing, class. You are really

listening into our discussion.

Staging and staging modalities are

integral components of any
performance, and they play a pivotal
role in enhancing the quality of a
dramatic act. When a director skillfully
harnesses the stage and its features,
it becomes a tangible manifestation of
their creative vision.

IV. ASSESSMENT
a. Evaluating Direction: In a yellow pad paper,
learning answer these questions.

1. Which stage most closely mirrors

your classroom, and what are the
reasons for this similarity?
Ma’am, I think it is proscenium stage just
like what you said earlier, our set up today
is considered as proscenium wherein
audience or learners facing in front and
watching you performing at the center.

2. In which specific stage areas would

your actors attract more attention?

I think it is an arena stage ma’am,

because audience are placed around the
stage.
