On Wednesday the 2nd of October a group of you arrived at the Change
Academy in Newton Abbot to learn some stage combat.
Stage combat is a technique used in theatre and in films to create the
illusion of physical combat without causing harm to any of the
participants.
After a quick warm up, we proceeded to learn some techniques.
We learned how to work with our hands first, learning the art of
Strangling, slapping and punching (with sound effects).
After lunch we were trusted to have a go at sword fighting, albeit wooden
swords. We learned a sequence of moves that, when put together, flowed into
a sword fighting scene.
Overall it was a fantastic day and I’m sure, for those of you that couldn't
make it, we can arrange for this to happen again.
