Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Blocking notation help, anyone?

« on: Aug 07, 2004, 07:51 pm »

The show is Polaroid Stories.
I like the changing paper idea.
Loebtmc, do you know of a colored pencil brand that erases easily?
(I'm thinking maybe I can combine these methods :-))
Anyone else have any ideas?

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / PROMPT BOOK: Blocking notation help, anyone?

« on: Aug 06, 2004, 06:35 pm »

So I just met with my director for the first time and she told me she likes to let blocking "evolve." She said what stage managers have done in the past is make columns and write down the different ways people are moving each of the first few times she runs it... I basically understood her, but does anyone have an example of what this looks like, suggestions on how to maybe do it better, or advice otherwise?
Thanks!
