Stage Directions are Blocking

Blocking is the theatre term for the actors' movements on the stage during the performance of the play or the musical. Every move that an actor makes (walking across the stage, climbing stairs, sitting in a chair, falling to the floor, getting down on bended knee) falls under the larger term "blocking".  

This must all be recorded in the prompt book as well as in their own script by the actor.  The stage manager is in charge of the prompt book.
