Mapping Power, Tension, and Isolation
Examiners expect accurate use of proxemics (distance between performers). Explain how closeness creates tension/control, and how separation communicates isolation/status change. In Macbeth, shifting distance between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth can become your clearest visual arc.
The Witches are clumped tightly together Downstage Center, moving as a single, grotesque entity. Macbeth and Banquo enter Upstage. The vast proxemic distance immediately establishes the Witches as 'other' and unnatural, standing between the noble soldiers and the audience, intercepting their fate.
