2. Blocking Blocking is the theater term for the actors’ movements on the stage during the performance of the play or the musical. Every move that an actor makes (walking across the stage, climbing stairs, sitting in a chair, falling to the floor, getting down on bended knee) falls under the larger term “blocking.”
Principles of Blocking
• Where we stand on stage, or “blocking”, helps communicate to the audience important information about the story.
• Just like in the movies where there is often a blurred background with a focused foreground, our staging can help tell the audience where to focus.
•There are three principles of blocking you must always be aware of.
1) Always be open: The audience wants to see you, especially when you’re speaking. Always try to have your shoulders angled toward the audience so they can see you and hear you. This is called “cheating” toward the audience.
2) Never a straight line: In life we don’t stand in straight lines unless we’re told to. So on stage we should never make a straight line because it looks fake.
3) Create depth and height whenever possible: Layers make the scene more interesting to look at and feel more natural.
