Blocking (thing)

Theatre:

• Part of the rehearsal process of a play where the moves to be made by the actors during the play are communicated to them. The stage manager will record these for future reference.
  
• The work (by a director) of visualizing and creating these moves.
  
• The movement around, across, and on stage an actor makes during a play while acting.
  
• Improvisation: obstructing the narrative of the scene, by refusing the offers of your partners.
