types of staging

• Staging configuration


  The shape and nature of your performance space or stage, considering where the audience will be.
• Promenade staging


  Performance area may be set in various locations in a venue. Audience follows the action on foot, moving from one location to another.

  
• Proscenium Arch staging


  The audience faces one side of the stage directly, and may sit at a lower height or in tiered seating. The frame around the stage is called the proscenium arch.

  
• Traverse staging


  Where the audience sits on two sides - like a catwalk.

  
• End on Staging


  The audience faces one side of the stage directly, and may sit at a lower height or in tiered seating.

  
• Theatre in the Round staging


  The stage is positioned at the centre of the audience. This means that there's an audience around the whole stage.

  
• Thrust Staging


  Where the acting area in front of the proscenium arch comes forward so that some of the audience are sitting on three sides of the action of the play.
