Have you ever wondered how actors make fights on stage look so real? Do you want to learn how to do the same things they do in your favorite fight-filled movies or TV shows? Or maybe you just like to punch things and want to get out some energy? No matter your motive, this class is the perfect start for anyone looking to learn more about stage combat and fighting for the stage or screen. This three-hour class will include a brief warm-up, followed by basic techniques in unarmed combat, armed combat (swords), footwork, and safety techniques, followed by a brief Q&A with the instructor about the world of stage combat. Students should wear closed-toed shoes that they can move in (tennis shoes or similar preferred) as well as movement clothes. Long hair should be secured out of the face and no dangly or long jewelry or accessories will be allowed during the class for safety. Students are also encouraged to bring a water bottle.
