Program Description & Details

Teach your drama program how to stage a safe and exciting sword fighting for your school
theatrical production.

Your students will learn the basics of theatrical swordplay with rapiers or longswords
including stance, movement, attacks, and defences. We’ll also teach the core “safeties” of
stage combat including managing distance, controlling targets, cueing and collaborative
choreography, as well as creating real and safe looking strikes, and reactions.

In a short session we can give you the basic tools of swordplay and in longer sessions we
can help you build choreography and get ready for bringing a lesson from the classroom to
the stage. Let us know your goals so we can shape the session to your group.
