Classes and Workshops

Our Beginning Stage Combat Workshop will be held April 12th.

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. Please 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!

*this class is appropriate for ages 12 and up
