Stage Combat
Stage combat is all about reacting. Stage combat is all about breathing. Stage combat is all about the dance you do with your partner. Did you know that the person who “sells” a fight is the victim and is actually the one in control and does all the work? Learn all the secrets that actors use in plays and in Hollywood. Led by Jonathan Gonzalez, a veteran of many plays where he has died, killed, and fought, Students will learn the basics of stage combat that you use in any fight, how to make a fight look realistic, and how to do fights from hand to hand to simple swords. Above all, we will be safe! Stage combat always looks worse than it is and that’s what makes it fun, the imagination and abilities of the actor!
