Stage Directions

Stage directions in a script are there to give actors and directors a general sense of what should be happening in each scene. They tell actors where to stand/sit, whether to enter/exit, and even if an actor should say something a certain way (normally these instructions come from the Director, but some writers like to include performance notes if they're necessary to tell the story).

​Stage directions are usually very simplistic – only there to help readers understand the basics of what's going on. In fact, many directors will completely change the stage directions depending on the set and how they want the performance to go.

In addition to informing actors of how to move or perform, stage directions also include information on lighting, scenery, and certain sound effects.

What are Stage Directions?
Stage directions are instructions in the script of a play that tell actors how to enter, where to stand, when to move, and so on.

Stage directions can also include instructions about lighting, scenery, and sound effects, but their main purpose is to guide actors through their movements onstage. (Onstage movement and positioning is called blocking).

For example, stage directions may tell an actor to pace while delivering their lines, to pick up a prop at a certain moment, or to sit down while listening to another character speak.

Movements like these can add tension, humor, or emotion to a scene, engage the audience’s attention, and make a character come alive.

Some people associate choreography with dance movements but it can also refer to ordinary movement on stage; for example, fight scenes are choreographed.

Pytania o egzystencję człowieka stawia także Historia pewnego samotnego człowieka Teatru Ofer Amram z Izraela. To spektakl niezwykły ze względu na perfekcję w animowaniu lalek wielkości człowieka, a także ze względu na szkatułkową, wielopoziomową fabułę przedstawianej historii. Do czynienia mieliśmy z teatrem, który obywał się bez słów, w którym plan aktorski mieszał się z planem lalkowym, dając tym samym inną, nową jakość teatralną.

The script for a puppet production is called a puppet play.

The puppetry and live actor play was an original compilation and intertwining of several of Edgar Lee Masters poems from his Spoon River Anthology.
