The relation between place space and stage management in theatre

Stage management, which is a job of putting a theater play on stage, has been handled very differently, throughout the history of theater. This difference in form, also arises from the fact that the types of the theatre plays put on the scene, vary from the period of time, as well as from the space of theater that theatre play is staged, and the extent of the space that emerges with this space. Thus, since the beginning of the history of theater, a changing and evolving relationship of place, space and stage management was emerged Prior to the appearance of the director, the stage management, as a result of a dramatic text, has been accepted more as a literary practice, putting the text directly to the stage and following the same pattern of the text for the stage was the usual method. In general, the written text is only embodied in the scene. In the beginning, The playwriters were responsible from this process. Afterwards, the responsibility was taken by the stage managers. With the emergence of the concept of directing, the structure of the classical stage space has been diversified as a result of the activity of the space, and the centralization of the stage has been broken by exploring the dimensions such as verticality, horizontality and the depth of space. As a result of all of this progress, the traditional view that pointed to the stage by the spectator was broken, and the audience was pushed into the playground. With the starting of the new perspectives, the audience has crossed the boundaries of the box scene, and versatility has become dominant. The perspective of the italian scene that based on flat space turned into three dimensional space, and the transition from place to the place that shown in the scene was provided. The Italian sovereignty, which was still trapped in the box, has begun to deteriorate with the change of the staging idea. In order to examine a staged theatrical play, it is necessary to examine and understand the relationship between the space and the location of the space, in order to stage a new play as a director. This necessity has created the necessity of conducting a research under the title of place, space and stage management.
