Stage direction refers to the areas on a stage (anyone in technical theatre should be aware of this concept.)
The area of a stage that is closest to the audience (house) is downstage. The area furthest from the audience (the back of the stage) is called upstage.
To someone new to the concept of stage direction, it can be confusing because from the view of the audience, how we would normally perceive direction is switched.
Examples of using stage direction in commands/questions would be:
1. "All actors move center stage during the next scene."
2. "Why was this lamp placed upstage right?"
3. "Make sure you fix the third chair, downstage left."
Stage direction can increase or set the tension because it tells the audience how the actors are feeling by the actions (direction) of the actors. For example, if you have an actor who is quickly rubbing his hands together, the audience gets the feeling that he's nervous.
an action (usually movement) given (usually by the director) to the performer on stage. for example- a director might ask the actor to move to stage left whilst he/she is saying their line. hope this helps :)
The stage without the stage directions is nothing!
well,for me a play without a stage direction will become nonsense :]
There are 9 stage directions
noun. The definition of a stage direction is an instruction written in the script of a play that gives direction to the actors or information about the scenery. When the author of a play leaves a note in a script telling the actor to read a line with a sarcastic undertone, this note is an example of a stage direction.
