Intro to Stage Combat for Adults (Ages 18+)

In Constellation's Intro to Stage Combat for Adults, students will gain a fundamental understanding of stage combat principles, prioritizing safety and illusion as they are introduced to the foundational techniques for unarmed combat with a focus on developing the ability to perform basic choreographed fight sequences. Unarmed combat techniques will include punches, kicks, slaps, blocks, falls, rolls and grappling. Additionally, students will explore how acting plays a part in "selling" the illusion of impact through realistic reactions, breathing, sounds, and facial expressions. The class will highlight the crucial balance between artistic expression and rigorous safety protocols.
