sword fights, hair grabs, to stage slaps and upper cuts – these workshops will teach you how to become a disciplined and convincing stage-fighting actor, understanding the techniques needed to grab the audience’s attention. Work together to build an epic stage battle in 3 days, and perform to the audience on the 4th day!
No matter your age, Stage Combat is super fun, high energy and suitable for all young people!
