About the Event
The fundamental form of violence, most frequently found in the street, on the stage and screen, is that of unarmed, hand-to-hand combat. Having more in common with dance and magicianship, students learning unarmed combat will learn to see the show through the eyes of the audience, create convincing illusions of violence, and access visceral and emotional extremes of their acting in performance.
On this course you will:
Gain practical, hands-on experience putting performance into action with punches, kicks, locks, throws, and more.
Learn how to perform the illusion of physical violence, in both attack and defence, through a wide range of techniques and applications.
Understand how to play characters who love to fight, from; how movement, body language, voice and expression all affect the performance of a fight.
Rehearse a choreographed fight sequence and set it to a piece of text, to perform as a scene with full intention.
