Stage Combat Workshop

 

Over the session the group are introduced to a series of stand-alone stage combat techniques. These techniques gradually increase in difficulty and each designed to teach a different vital element to performing stage combat safely.

 

 The main principles are:

​

• safety distance

• eye contact

• teamwork

 

For the older groups, or for groups that move along quickly, these techniques are used to create a short piece of choreography to teach to the students. The group will then practice this for the remainder of the session and, depending on the level of confidence and ability, will show them to their peers at the end of the session.
