What to expect: In this workshop, students will learn how to become a movement-based storyteller with the use of staged violence. Students will also learn the anatomy of the sword, best safety practices, basic movement, parries, attacks, and Prise de Fer ("Taking the Blade"). Then students will put it all together with a combat routine. Students should wear clothes that they can move in comfortably, and bring clean tennis shoes to wear in the studio as this is a heavy movement-based workshop.
