In this six week Stage Combat course we'll exploring theatrical violence as an integral part of the storytelling process. As well as working on our practical fight skills through the learning of choreographed sequences, we'll be diving into the idea of violence as language, and developing the use of breath, tension, urgency, and muscularity as key skills for the fight performer to master in their quest to effectively portray violence on stage.
This course was hugely well-received last year and is back by popular demand!
