New resource in town for fight choreography and weapons
by Kevin Inouye 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

New to town and wanting to put myself out there: I'm a fight choreographer and armorer (as well as actor etc.) who just moved to Cleveland to teach movement, acting, and stage combat at Case Western. I'm an SAFD Certified Teacher and Theatrical Firearms Instructor, SAG-AFTRA stunt performer, and run Fight Designer, LLC, which provides prop weapons rentals and related services for both live theatre and film. www.fightdesigner.com I've been armorer and gun wrangler for numerous productions, and am an award-winning fight choreographer with about 20 years of experience in the industry. While I'm still in the process of unpacking and setting up, I'm looking forward to joining the local film and theatre scenes. Drop me a line if you have any projects you want to discuss! -Kevin Inouye action(a)fightdesigner.com

Hello singers, actors, dancers: If you are ready to work on your voice again - or for the first time, find a teacher with experience, especially for the details of your breathing. Along the way, you will sense improvements that will amaze even you. I have studied singing since 1971 and had my first breakthroughs in 1974. Wonderment! The work and the teaching continued for the next forty years. Come and see me - or come back again; I miss you. Let me show you more about the power of your breath and what it does for your voice. You will be amazed. Paul Kroeger - baritone letgo2sing(a)gmail.com or 216-741-4762. Txt to 216-287-0270

Vignette #1 “Shortwave”: During his weekly late-night talk radio show, Alan receives a mysterious call from a disturbed man named Kevin. As they talk, Alan tries to figure out if Kevin actually has information about dark goings on in Arcadia, or if he’s just a lonely kook.Vignette #2 “Arcadia Homeowners’ Association”: Charlie, the overbearing President of a suburban neighborhood association, attempts to ensure that his neighbors are following the Homeowners’ Association handbook to the letter.Character BIOS“Shortwave”[ALAN] [GENDER: MALE] [ETHNICITY: WHITE] [AGE: 40-65]A deep-voiced independent radio host. Plays up his libertarian conspiracy-theorist tendencies on air. He is sensible, warm, and well-meaning deep down. [KEVIN] [GENDER: MALE] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [AGE: 25-35]A frazzled and anxious caller. Feels things deeply and doesn’t think much. Likely to forget what he’s talking about. “Arcadia Homeowners’ Association”[CHARLIE] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 40s-50s]A clean-cut man who likes to mean business in a calm and restrained way. He couples this with minimal social awareness. [FREDERICK (FRED)] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 30s]A settled-down family man who hasn’t quite shed his douchey/aloof college frat persona, and maybe he never will. [OLIVER] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [GENDER MALE] [AGE: 8-12]Spunky and enterprising. Runs a quintessential lemonade stand. (Must be able to pronounce big words). About Us and the ProjectWe’re both graduates of Case Western Reserve University who are now studying filmmaking at Tri-C. Our goal is to produce character-focused shorts that can serve as professional-grade additions to both our reel and yours. All the shorts will be self-contained but set in the shared universe of ‘Arcadia’ and certain characters may recur.
