1) audience facing the stage.

2) performers facing the audience.

3) performers facing away from the audience.

4) performers, no matter in which direction they are facing.

Answer 1

Stage right and stage left refer to the right and left side from the perspective of the performers facing the audience.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stage right and stage left refer to the right and left side, respectively, from the perspective of the performers facing the audience. When discussing stage positions on a proscenium or thrust stage, left and right are determined according to the position of the performer who is facing the audience. For example, if we tell the performer to cross Downstage Right, the performer will walk downstage (towards the audience) and to their right.
