04/12/14 Thust Stage Over View

Rehearing:

Here is the basic configuration of our performance space. It is called THRUST staging.

 

Advantage

• The audience can see different angles of the stage and experience it as if they are in the same place as the actors.

Disadvantage

• If an actor looks to one side of the stage only that part of the audience can see and here properly that specific actor, the rest of the audience wont see/ hear as much.

 

Above is a plan of a stage. It tells you what we call each of the stage. Familiarise yourself with this as you will be asked by your director to enter from stage left or right, move up or down stage. This is vocabulary that you should be able to use as an actor.
