DRMA 115: Stage Combat

Where there is theatre, there are shows with simulated violence and struggle. Stage Combat is the artform used to safely and effectively communicate these scenes to audiences. It is the art form that bridges the gap between consent/partnering and volatile conflict. Over the course of the quarter, students will learn safe and believable Unarmed and Knife Stage Combat techniques for stage and screen, develop the physicality and skills necessary to perform fight choreography, and gain the ability to learn, rehearse, and perform fight scenes in a theatrical context.
