| ## Text Encoding Initiative
### The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines # <move>

`<move>` | (Movement) marks the actual entrance or exit of one or more characters on stage.
Attributes | (In addition to global attributes and those inherited from stageDirection)
`who` | identifies the character or characters performing the movement.
| Datatype: IDREFS
| Values: The references are derived from the `id` attribute on the `<role>` elements in the cast list.
| Default: #REQUIRED
`type` | characterizes the movement, for example as an entrance or exit.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Suggested values include:
entrance | character is entering the stage.
exit | character is exiting the stage.
onstage | character moves on stage
| Default: #IMPLIED
`where` | specifies the direction of a stage movement.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Sample values include:
L | stage left
R | stage right
C | centre stage
| Default: #IMPLIED
Note | Full blocking information will normally require combinations of values, (for example ‘UL’ for ‘upper stage left’) and may also require more detailed encoding of speed, direction etc. Full documentation of any coding system used should be provided in the header.
`perf` | identifies the performance or performances in which this movement occurred as specified.
| Datatype: IDREFS
| Values: The references are derived from the `id` attribute on a `<performance>` element.
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example

    <stage type="entrance">
       <move who="b" type="enter" where="SL" perf="p1"/>
    Enter Bellafront mad.</stage>
