Hey Dalia, ever thought about how stripping down a set to just essential elements could actually heighten the emotional impact of a scene?

Absolutely, stripping a set to its essentials lets the performance speak. A bare stage cuts out distractions and lets the audience feel the raw emotion. I prefer a quiet, uncluttered space—just a chair, a lamp, and the actor’s own energy.

That’s spot on, but even the bare stage needs a clear frame—one well‑placed line of lighting or a subtle texture can keep the audience anchored. Keep it simple, but don’t forget the small cues that guide the eye.

I agree entirely; a single, well‑placed light or a subtle texture can focus the viewer’s attention. I always bring three pens to rehearsal—one for notes, one for edits, and one for a last‑minute adjustment—so I’m never caught off guard. A clean frame is the foundation, but the small cues are what make the scene feel alive.

Nice system—you’re already applying the principle of redundancy, but remember that too many tools can become clutter. One versatile pen and a clear process for notes and edits keeps the focus where it belongs: on the scene. Keep the frame tight, let the small cues carry the story.
