Experienced stage managers who want to augment their knowledge and evaluate alternative approaches to notating blocking of stage movement and unarmed stage combat; (3.) Directors who want to encourage maximum input from this central member of their production staff in order to be freed of administrative concerns, who want the benefits of a nurtured and protected collaboration with the other visual and performing artists, and who want to be assured of a maintenance of the interpretation and evolved concepts; and (4.) Teachers who want to prepare drama students to creatively and efficiently carry out their roles as stage managers rather than perpetuating the frustrating and unproductive method of trial-and-error.
