Conflict is an
integral part of storytelling. This class is
designed to give the actor the necessary skills when dramatic conflict calls
for physical violence in the contemporary theatre. The first 3 weeks will cover
basic technique for domestic violence and unarmed fighting. The last 3 weeks
will develop learned technique into performance quality skills, and integrate
knife, gun and other contemporary weapons.
 
Safety is
critical on stage—not only for an actor’s well-being, but also for their
confidence and performance consistency.
