Beginning Stage Combat Workshop

Beginning Stage Combat- Basic Illusions of Violence covers the foundational skills of basic stage combat. From partnering to angles, we will be teaching artists the basic principles of engagement in order to be able to craft a story without endangering themselves. This workshop is a combination of technique theory and essential self-defense for actors.  

There are too many times when actors have had to "just figure it out". The goal of this workshop is for any actor to be comfortable enough to come up with believable actions and stay safe while telling their story.

Students will need –  

1. Closed toed shoes that will stay on their feet.  (crocs are not advised)

2. Comfortable clothing that is easy to move in

3. Avoid dangly jewelry that can get snagged 

4. watches, bracelets and such like can cause abrasions and bruises, so avoid or remove those before the workshop.  

5. bring a water bottle (bottle refilling station is available). 

6. Come to the workshop ready to have fun and don't worry about taking yourself too seriously!

While not required, participants might benefit from bringing a notebook and pencil.
