Class Description

This class will focus on choreographed swordplay, though a bit of hand-to-hand combat will be explored as well. Throughout the course of the session, students will learn the correct terminology, stances, and technique for the swordfighter. By examining clips of Hollywood fight scenes and exploring improvisational combat, students will find the balance between showmanship and realistic swordplay. Students will be presented with part of a duel that each pair will be responsible for fully fleshing out and completing by the end of the semester for the showcase performance.
*This class will not have a showcase performance, instead we will have a parent observation night.
