I found it helpful to draw out the stage layouts for my different scenes to familiarise myself with them so that I could become comfortable in the space. It took away my apprehension of working in the space so that I could focus predominantly on my characters, therefore giving them a more truthful portrayal that would be more enjoyable for an audience to watch. I could also perform on the stage reflecting the characters' relationships with it, again aiding the authenticity of my roles.
By also including my entrances and exits it helps to make me more efficient, being in the right place at the right time for my scenes. This helps my own performance, as well as others, because each scene can flow into the next without hindrance of people late on stage which helps people to maintain their characters.
