What is upstaging?

its because you are going up and pushing the performer out <><><> When actor A "upstages" actor B on stage, actor A goes behind (upstage) of B, forcing B to turn his back to the audience to speak in dialogue with A. This gives the upstage actor A a better position to face and address the audience and puts B in an awkward position. It can be amusing when actors get caught in an upstaging duel, each crossing upstage of the other until they both end up pinned against the upstage wall.

How did actors create a connection with the audience during Shakespeare time?

Actors created a connection with the audience in Shakespeare's day exactly as they do now. Actors respond to the reactions or lack of them which an audience gives. If the audience is with the actors, they will continue the rhythm and energy that established the relationship. If the audience is drifting away, the actors need to work harder to get the audience's attention and interest, by being louder, making larger gestures, adding humour and so on. This needs to be done at the beginning of a play, so Shakespeare often started his plays with something which would grab the audience's attention, like the appearance of a ghost.
