BLOCKING

BLOCKING

• Blocking is the process of developing the movement around the set and performance area
• Your Blocking should reinforce character motivation, dynamic, emotion, purpose...in order to assist the audience in understanding the full picture

things to consider

• movement used in blocking is either toward or away from the person/persons to whom you are speaking (usually toward the audience
• when you move towards the audience (you are in more aggressive mode)
• if you move away from the audience you appear more passive
