Are Your Stage Combat Skills Rusty?

How long has it been since you took a stage combat class? Have you ever? Most theatre schools in Vancouver don’t even teach stage fighting. However, it is a fundamental skill for the performer.

Get a Refresher For Your Physical Performance

Stage combat is a shortcut to mastering your instrument by incorporating:

  • moving around the stage with purpose
  • interacting with another character in a life-or-death situation
  • playing fear, anger, injury, effort while still concentrating on the choreography
  • staying aware of your environment
  • breathing, yelling, speaking your lines while exerting yourself
