In theatre, blocking is the precise staging of actors in order to facilitate the performance of a performance. The Director usually determines blocking during rehearsal, telling actors where they should be for the proper dramatic effect, ensure sight lines for the audience and work with the lighting design of the scene. During rehearsals before the tech the DSM or SM may make blocking notes on the precise position of all the cast in each scene.
