Building slaps and punches for a theatrical fight is both a technical and creative process. It is the job of the actors to make these movements a seamless part of the story. This class will take participants through a few simple stage combat moves and then show them how use the technique of mapping to turn these moments into dynamic pieces of physical storytelling. Through the few easy steps found in combat mapping, teachers can not only help their actors create better staged fights, but great theatre as well!
