What is close reading turned into staging?Show answer
The skill is to read the extract carefully, find where its meaning, tension or atmosphere lives (stage directions, shifts, subtext, structure), then convert what you notice into specific staging and design choices anchored to that evidence.
What is anchoring choices to the extract?Show answer
Every choice should be anchored to the extract and justified by audience effect. A generic answer that could fit any scene scores poorly; one that responds to the particular detail of the printed extract demonstrates AO3, and evaluating the effect earns AO4.
