Context: In these sections actors are checking choreography in a run-through with some actor changes. They can quickly adapt to a new situation but must be aware in such a physical scene of taking care to support each other's actions. Actors have to learn new positions and find successful ways of taking each other's weight in the movement sequences.
Each character has a section of individual movement as Puck draws the lovers together for the end of the scene. The other actors use their bodies to represent the obstacles of the forest. Movement is derived from the text: Lysander is being led up and down; Demetrius is reaching for his sword; Helena is struggling all night through bushes and briars and Hermia can go no further.
