“But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.” — 1 Corinthians 14:40

Blocking

Definition: Blocking is the planned movement of performers on stage to tell the story through action and position.

Why It Matters: Clear movement helps the audience understand the message and keeps the scene orderly. God is a God of order — not confusion — and our stage should reflect that.

Director’s Notes:

• Blocking is finalized during rehearsals; once set, do not improvise.
• Mark positions with stage tape if needed.
• Always rehearse movement at full scale to maintain spacing.

Volunteer Tips:

• Note your starting and ending position in your script.
• Ask if you’re unsure about direction.
• Be patient — blocking may change as scenes evolve.
