F Advanced Principles of Stage and Screen Combat

Catalog description

36 hours lecture and 54 hours lab per term. This course builds upon the principles learned in THEA 198 F and/or THEA 200 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, film, and television. Students will expand upon unarmed and armed analysis, practical application, and performance while improving kinesthetic awareness and enhancing confidence in heightened dramatic situations for the stage and screen. The final performance in THEA 198 F , or THEA 200 F , or subsequent performance of skills proficiency, will serve as an audition for entrance into THEA 201 F and the next level of weapon and stunt training.
