Spanish term or phrase: "teatro semi-montado"
On an Argentine actor's resume appears his works in theater and referes to "teatro semi-montado" which means that the play has not been fully staged. Can anybody tell me what is used in English for "teatro semi-montado". Thanks in advance!

MargaEsther: 2:53pm Aug 24, 2005: Sólo para aclarar, he dado cursos de dirección teatral en universidades estadounidenses, y talleres a grupos profesionales en Bogotá, Manizales, BAs, Santiago y en la ciudad de México; mi esposo lleva cincuenta años en teatro y te evito el CV; semi-staged -
MargaEsther: 2:56pm Aug 24, 2005: y semi-montados son términos que se han puesto de moda a partir de la pobreza de lectura de la mayoría de los actores/actrices. Es una tristeza reconocerlo pero muchos no leen dramaturgia siquiera. (De ahí que las librerías teatrales sean tan pequeñas en -
MargaEsther: 3:02pm Aug 24, 2005: incluso en ciudades con una gran tradición teatral); todo para decirte que "staged reading" es el término técnico adecuado para ese "semi-montaje" que usan algunos actores. Por cierto, algunas versiones de teatro de atril pueden ser más imaginativas y -
MargaEsther: 3:05pm Aug 24, 2005: aportdoras que muchos montajes (ciertamente que los comerciales). Perdón por la explicación farragosa pero hay temas que han sido tan significativos que, si puedo, prefiero precisar. -

staged reading
Explanation:
Es decir que los parlamentos no están del todo memorizados; hay cierto grado de improvisación, poco movimiento (sólo el marcado en acotaciones), vestuario y utilería son apenas sugeridos, no hay escenografía y, con suerte o imaginación, ciertos cambios de iluminación y alguna música ambiental si es indispensable. Esta forma de escenificación -que requiere de algunos ensayos y dirección- refleja o debiera reflejar un sólido trabajo previo, lo que se conoce como trabajo de escritorio. Ya se hizo análisis de personajes, de intenciones, de contexto histórico, etc. Es la mitad del camino para una producción terminada.
En español también recibe el nombre de teatro de atril.

Semi-Staged Reading: Plays which have been given at least one Seated Reading can have a Semi-Staged Reading, if the playwright desires one, at the regular Monday night meetings. In these, the actors may move about and perform basic blocking, but should still have scripts in hand and should not use props or set pieces. Again, this is followed by a feedback discussion.
