M9 Stage Axis

  STAGE UTILIZATION. 

A Stage is a platform on which an audience watches an artistic performance of any kind — be it dance, drama, music and what have you. Without a Stage, a performance can't be showcased no mater how beautiful it may look.

Without a Stage I wonder what would become of dance and other artistic fields. Many times, many dancers misuse the Stage. There are quite different types of Stage, usually influenced by the scope of the performance. Regardless of this,every Stage is  bound to have nine axis. A  good understanding and good usage of these nine axis can greatly contribute to showcasing a good dance performance. What most dancers are familiar with and base their works on is the center Stage and partially up Stage. In this case, the other seven axis are abandoned.

It would be better if dance can float through all nine axis of the Stage in a single performance. This is a bit technical and requires good dance concept to be achieved. But if achieved, it will give the audience a unique spectacle. 

To a large degree, it is a universal habit to start a dance from center Stage. Yes, it is very good because it provides the audience with a clear view
from the beginning. But it will be a bit more unique if the audience start seeing something different. Not always, however sometimes, try starting your dance from another preferred axis of the stage. It will give you a new sense of creativity. And it is important for all dancers to know all the different axis of the Stage, practice with it and master using the axis well. This will make the art of dancing more professional and unpredictable.

No mater how small or big the rehearsal space or dance floor 
may be, the basic nine axis of a Stage can be mapped out. If dance schools and choreographers will choose to use this Stage utilization tip effectively, audiences will certainly be in for something better.  Most of all, let all dancers enjoy using the Stage to its fullest.

At M9 Ballet School, we always remember that our students will sometimes perform outside our sight. So we teach them many extra dance truths, from basic dance steps to infinity.
