What are manipulating the elements?Show answer
The skill the dot point names is manipulation. Performers do not simply have these elements present; they adjust them deliberately. Raising tension by withholding information, tightening focus through stillness, or shifting a relationship through a single line are all conscious choices. In analysis you should show how a change in one element produces a change in the audience's understanding.
