Summary/Abstract: The following study represents an incursion into the main directorial trends of stage movement in the performing arts. Starting with Andrea Perrucci and up to Anne Bogart the way in which the concept of stage movement is perceived evolves in different directions. The main operating methods used in the development of stage movement within the artistic creative workshop of the concept that is performing arts can be found within oneself (the physicalization of thought, imagination, stimuli, the “what if“ question) and on the outside (physical reaction, topography, slow motion effect). The directorial approaches proposed for the creation of a character from a technical point of view are different but not without use as they do not exclude each other, instead they morph according to the needs of the person during the creative process.
