Stage directions provide actors with specific instructions on how to move and interact on stage, where to stand, when to enter or exit, and how to convey emotions or reactions through physicality. They also help actors understand the spatial relationships between characters and objects on stage, as well as the overall blocking and staging of a scene. By following stage directions, actors can create a more cohesive and dynamic performance that effectively communicates the intentions of the playwright or director. Additionally, stage directions can help actors stay in character, maintain continuity, and ensure that their movements and actions are cohesive with the overall vision of the production.
