Scene Setting |
|
The psychodramatist must have a good sense of theatrical production. (See Kellermann's 4 roles of the director).
An acting area is set at a comfortable distance from the audience to enable good sight lines and audability. Scenes are then set at the protagonist's own pace, anchored in time and place , possessing continuity between scenes. The production may use symbolic representations or naturalistic styles of staging.
The director aims for an overall aesthetically satisfying and original production, based upon the focus of the material. The director uses staging effects, such as lighting, group sounds etc., to capture the overall atmosphere of the mood and location. This also has the function of drawing in the audience to the action.
