| Stage Directions Well, this will be a bit difficult for me, since I can't use graphics...but Stage directions really are very important to know if you are going to choerograph a group, or record your dances in a written form (which I feel is important too, so you don't forget them). The stage directions are the same as the person who is on the stage, facing the audience. Stage Rear: This is the area of the stage furthist from the audience and closest to the back drop. This position can be seen by the audience. Stage Rear Right: This is a subsection of stage rear, on the right side toward the rear of the stage. Again, all directions are from standing on the stage and facing the audience. Stage Rear Left: This is a subsection of stage rear, on the left side toward the rear of the stage. Again, all directions are from standing on the stage and facing the audience Stage Right: The right side of the stage. Stage Left: The left side of the stage Stage front: The area of the stage closest to the audience and furthest from the backdrop. Stage Front Right: The front, right side of the stage. Stage Front Left: the front, left side of the stage. Stage Center Front: the fount of the stage, in the middle--that is,where there is equal amounts of stage to either side of the actor. Center Stage: The center of the stage. Backstage: behind the stage & backdrop. The audience should not be able to see this area. Wings are located on either side of the stage. |
