Movement in Space

Movement in Space
For drama we had to learn how to use movement and space while acting a scene with a group. Space means what space you use, like center, upstage, downstage, stage left and etc. There is also levels in space high, low and medium.


Movement is moving as part of a group. Pathways: the pattern of movement you create in the space, e.g: Magic Mover- curved, straight or zig-zag pathways.


The space we used was the center of the stage for our act
