Stage Combat:
Learn to take a fall and throw a punch, without the pain of getting hurt. We teach that the victim is always in control of the violence. Actors will learn to react to kicks, slaps, hair pulls and knife stabs so that the audience believes the action. Chad introduces some basic sword play and Marta sets the scene so that actors come away from this workshop with the knowledge of what situations are safe and unsafe on stage or film. This class is great for junior high and high school, community college and professional actors of all ages.
