run through
Rehearse before performing
Run through combines ideas of traversing and penetrating.
To run through material is to review or rehearse it: Let's run through the presentation one more time.
A theme that runs through a work appears repeatedly throughout.
To run someone through is to stab them with a sword or blade, passing it entirely through the body.
A run-through is a rehearsal or summary review.
