Run-through sample

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A run is a type of rehearsal in the performing arts that is part of the final rehearsal phase before the main rehearsal . As a rule, there are several iterations, which increasingly approximate the intended duration of the performance. A run requires the presence of all actors and often more technical staff than the previous rehearsals, which are dedicated to individual scenes or scenic contexts.

During the run, the performance should still run with interruptions, but in the planned sequence of its parts (such as scenes, pictures or music numbers). This makes it possible to optimize the connections and to rehearse the use of props or changes of decoration that have not previously been considered. The subsequent analysis of the run allows an assessment of the dramaturgy and the overall length of the performance. - Thus, after a run, lines (deletion of text or music) and rearrangements can result.
