unstaged

Without theatrical production

Unstaged means not arranged or presented as a performance.

An unstaged reading of a play involves actors speaking their lines without sets, costumes, or blocking.

Unstaged can also mean not artificially arranged: unstaged photographs capture moments as they naturally occur, without direction or posing.

In software version control, unstaged changes are modifications not yet marked for inclusion in the next commit.
