ABSTRACT
One way that you can really give character to your show is by experimenting with different ways of passing from one scene to the next. Not only will this vary the pace and aesthetic pleasure for the audience, but it can also be an invaluable tool for maintaining the freshness in your performance. If narrative long form is about creating “organized chaos” then playing with transitions is one of the best ways of creating this chaos. This chapter provides tools for working split screens and flashbacks into your show. These staging effects can add extra layers of symbolic meaning to scenes whilst boosting the show’s overall dynamic.
