Role

Role identifies one of the possible relations that the Performer can have to the Performance. The Role(s) a Performer has in the Performance will determine which parts of the Script should be performed by the Performer, as the Script is written in terms of which Role(s) each set of instructions applies to. In the fields of theater, movies, ballet, and opera, a Role generally corresponds to a character in the story of the Script, while other types of performance may use more general Roles like lead violinist.
