Stage Combat:

Come and learn the basics of unarmed fighting for stage! We’ll explore punches, kicks, slaps, chokes, hair pulls, and much more. Using the basics of stage combat safety, we’ll incorporate audience perspective, character, and vocal technique as well as other tools to perform exciting fights for an audience. By the end of the course, you’ll be fighting up a storm!

Stage Combat meets Fridays: 6:30-8:30
