Stage Kissing?
My school is doing Aresnic and Old Lace, and I am playing Elaine. We will be doing some "stage-kissing" and I don't know what they mean by that. Could someone explain this technique?

"stage kissing" is pretty much kissing but it does mean anything intiment some directers may make it look like kissing but it doesnt mean any personal attraction between people.

its a fake kiss where it looks like your kissing

The classic stage kiss that I learned involves the pair turning so the guy faces the back wall and him "dipping" her a little (he has his hand on her waist and she bends back a little)... then both faces are invisible to the audience and he just has to put his face in the general area of the girl's to give the impression of a kiss. Depending on how long you hold the pose and what you do with body language, you can cook up anything from a chaste peck to passionate snogging without sharing any saliva or cold germs :)

Dear Stage Kissing,
There is a technique for this as you've said. It probably involves angling your faces in a way so it looks like you're kissing but you're not. Or you could see what the people did in the movie version of Arsenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant. (Cary Grant is a guy)

Stage kissing is when you hold someones face and put your thumbs on your lips and you have the ullusion of kissing. Also ask your director for tips!!

This is a common technique. It usually is turning your head slightly to the side, standing at a weird ange, or putting your heads extremely close. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

Usally it is what they do in movies. It is like making a trick you look like you are kissing but you are just putting your face really close.
hope I helped
MatchMaker this was a match for Elaine the stage kisser!

You will probably put your head in a position where it will look like you are really kissing, but your not.

The director will just set you at an angle that to the audience looks like you two are kissing when you lean close.So basically you are going through the movements,you just aren't kissing him.
]
well it means that the guy or either the girl will like kiss the side of your or his cheek. hoped i helped.

The only way you would know is to talk to them about it...they may have a particular technique in mind so ask them about it...that really all I can say.
Hope I helped =)

You're lucky! I go to a public school, I'm playing Marian in Music Man, and I actually have to kiss Harold Hill. (I have a boyfriend, and he's not in the musical. Lol.) Arsenic is a GREAT play, by the way.
There are a lot of different ways to stage kiss, and I'm guessing it'll be something like the guy will turn so his head is blocking your mouth, but not actually kiss you. At that angle, it's impossible for the audience to tell that your lips are not touching.
There are ways to do it where you (or he) put(s) your (or his) thumb over the other person's mouth and kiss the thumb, but those really do look fake, so I'm guessing it'll be something like the first way I described.
However, don't worry about it right now. I'm certain they'll go over it with you and teach you how to do it right. No one would just expect you to know how to stage kiss.
I hope this helps!
Have fun with the play!

You kiss on stage,

Well, what they do is they turn you at an angle so that the audience can't see that you're not really kissing. It will look like you are but you aren't. What normally happens is that the guy will grab your back and turn you so that you are facing the audience and then he will turn his body so that it is covering your face and you can't see that you're really not kissing. You don't have to worry about knowing it right now. I guarentee you that they will be going over it with you. I was in a play and I had a kissing scene, we had to reherse it many times because the guy wouldn't turn me at the right angle! Lots of times, they put a large brimmed hat on the girl so when she tilts her head to one side you can't see her face. I hope this helped.

To "stage kiss", you basically put your thumb over the guy's mouth and kiss your thumb, not him, so it seems like you are actually kissing him. That's pretty much one of the techniques in "stage kissing" and it's pretty simple. Hope I helped :)

well some play things you put your hand over your mouth and put it between the two peoples mouths and jus kiss the hand.. much luv

stage-kissing is an actual kiss donw in a play. its just acting and everyone knows that. it doesnt have sparks fly, but you need to learn to trick people to make them think you are in love. good luck! also, it sometimes is that you two never actually get lip to lip action. dont worry, they will teach you, its not too hard. i was juliet in a play and we did stage kissingg. and yes, i'ma girl! hehe good luckk

well, it means that you're going to kiss... more than likely a dry peck on the lips - done with the mindset that you're just acting... not actually kissing the guy. It'll probalby be a bit awkward at first, but really, it's nothing.
