Staging

Below is the basic configuration of our performance space. It is called thrust staging.
An advantage of using this stage space is that it is a more intimate viewing of the play and more people can fit around the stage. 
A disadvantage of using this stage space is that it makes it harder for the audience to see little details like facial expressions or subtle body language because the actor could be facing a different way.
Personally I think will find it challenging to perform in this space because I will be concerned about blocking the audience’s view of another actor because they are seated all around so it is crucial to be spatially aware when using this staging.
