What's this all about?
Have you ever wanted to learn how to perform stunts like they do in the movies? Come learn the art of stage-combat, applicable to theater and film, from an ex-professional stuntman and actor, Keshava, and a karate blackbelt and competitor, Hazemach.
In this week-long immersive summer camp you’ll learn how to safely practice and perform the basics of stage combat and stunts. You’ll learn how to fall, roll, and even fight unarmed – all without getting a scratch!
Stage combat combines the physical discipline of martial arts with the performative joy of acting. By the end of the camp, you’ll get a chance to practice choreographed unarmed fights and we’ll even film them so you can show your friends!
This is a great opportunity to learn how to control your body, move safely, express yourself, make friends, and have a ton of fun learning to tumble, fall, and fight like they do in the movies. We’ll also watch influential films, and learn how to identify what makes a film (and a fight) compelling and effective. We’ll cover classic films and modern favorites. You’ll never watch a superhero movie the same again.
No prior experience in martial arts, sports, or acting necessary.
