Have you ever wanted to learn how to swing a sword or throw a punch like your favourite movie star? Now is your chance – a one day course which will introduce you to Stage/Dramatic Combat.
This is a style of fighting used in everything from theatre to film and television; providing realism whilst at the same time, keeping the actors and crew perfectly safe.
During the day you will have the opportunity to try your hand at Scrappy, Fantasy and more, coming away with an understanding of the techniques you’ll need to make you a fighter of the future. A firm foundation will enable you to go on and develop your skills whether you are an actor, dancer, performer, wannabe director or sword master. It is open to all!
If you’re new to stage fighting or wanting to hone up old skills, this is your chance.
The instructors are highly qualified in their field. Performers in their own right and with a range of film and theatre credits to their name, they have taught at a number of prestigious institutions, including the Met Film School.
