Stage Combat 101 with Fight Director Lyndall Grant (Melbourne - In Person)

This in-person workshop will be a three-hour opportunity to work on the foundations of stage combat for today's industry, with internationally-recognised fight director Lyndall Grant in person in Melbourne. Stage combat is a physical performance skill that draws upon a wide range of an actor's skills. It is based in techniques and principles that are designed to keep all involved safe, while freeing you up to tell the story you want to tell. To reach this point of freedom however, the practice needs time to be absorbed and embodied - which cannot always be fully achieved in a rehearsal space. This session will explore the essentials of performing unarmed stage combat safely and effectively - including the concepts, skills and acting strategies that empower you as an actor and support you in delivering your best work. Please note: This in-person Melbourne event is from 6:30pm - 9:30pm (AEDT) (Melbourne time).
