The Proscenium Stage- Can use lots of scenery for "realistic" visual "picture frame"
- More realism possible
- Easier to light (from one direction)
- Room backstage
- Uses traditional stage areas (upstage, downstage)

Thrust and Arena Stages
The thrust stage has the main body of a Proscenium stage with an apron that allows action to be viewed from three audience perspectives.
The Arena stage is a stage that can be viewed by the audience from 360˚- this means there are no entrances and exits covered by wings, meaning that performances on Arena stages tend to shy away from realism, as the stage allows for a more abstract and unique performance style.

Created/Found Spaces
These spaces utilise the environment around us to create performance spaces and can be created by modifying the environment. Created/found spaces are non-traditional- such as a basement of a building, the side of a hill, or even the street.
