Just wanted to raise this issue about use of the stage during a performance, and dynamics in getting your audience's attention and captivating them during dancing.
when i first started to do drama studies i learnt about various stage positions as shown in this diagram
Stage Positions
is it something that any of the professional dancers on this forum consider when performing on stage?
I ask this because i have read comments on the forum about being too busy on the stage, as opposed to watching genuine ME dance from egyptians or whoever where the movements are more contained.
i began to wonder if stage dynamics is considered primarily because i think that a controlled environment such as a stage requires a different set of dynamics than say people performing in a restaurant or even just among friends in a room where the space might be much smaller.
any comments will be helpful.
