Hack and Slash's Stage Combat Club covers the basics of stage fighting and the critical elements of physical storytelling needed to really "sell the fight" to an audience. Stage Combat is one of the most exciting and beneficial study points of a play. This workshop focuses on basic combat and physical storytelling techniques used in professional theatre. Learn to develop the story of a fight on stage: How does a fight happen? How does it start? How is a stage fight different than a real fight? How can actors keep the story of a stage fight clear for the audience? How is a stage fight performed safely? Students in class will present their work on August 25th with a final class performance. 


John Davis has performed more than three thousand live stage combat shows in sixteen countries with his Comedy sword-fighting show Hack and Slash. As Oberlin College professor of Stage Combat and Resident Fight Choreographer, John has choreographed hundreds of productions nationally. Local credits include the Cleveland Shakespeare festival, teaching and choreographing for Kent State University Stark, Malone College, Baldwin Wallace College, The Beck Center for the Performing Arts and Weathervane Playhouse. After Sept 11th 2001, John traveled to sixteen countries including the most remote regions of Iraq and Afghanistan on six USO tours.
