F Beginning Principles of Stage Combat

Catalog description

36 hours lecture and 54 hours lab per term. This course builds upon the fundamentals learned in Introduction to Stage Combat ( THEA 197 F ) and focuses on applying previously acquired skills, as well as integrating new ones, to new weapon styles in the context of scene work from dramatic literature. Students will expand upon armed analysis, practical application, and performance while improving kinesthetic awareness and enhancing confidence in heightened dramatic situations. The final performance in THEA 197 F , or subsequent performance of skills proficiency, will serve as an audition for entrance into THEA 198 F or THEA 200 F , and the next level of weapons training.
