THEA 230Stage Combat I

Catalog

This beginning course instructs students in how to create the illusion of violence for stage and screen including basic instruction in Unarmed (feet, fists, slaps, punches, kicks, falls, and rolls) and Rapier and Dagger (parries, cuts, thrusts and more!). The emphasis is on safe and realistic violence for the stage. Midterm scenes will be performed in the classroom. Final scenes will be performed in a theatre during the final weeks of the semester.
