Mark

Hitting the mark

Marking through a performance

Hitting the mark: when an actor moves to a prearranged place on the stage on given lines.

Marking through a performance: in rehearsal when an actor goes through the actions and lines but does not give a fully committed performance; most often used for technical rehearsals and to preserve the voice in opera rehearsals.
