Unarmed Stage Combat Class

A few months ago, Andy Fraser introduced himself on this page. Andy is a qualified and experienced Fight Director and Stage Combat Instructor, and his offer of assistance generated some interest on this page and amongst people that I spoke to. You can read Andy's offer and resume' on the following link:



Consequently, the ITA approached Andy to hold a Workshop/Masterclass open to all interested. For the cost of a measly ten bucks, you can attend this 2-3 hour class (which will include afternoon tea) at 2 pm on Saturday May 12. The class is in an easily accessible central location: City West Lotteries House, 2 Delhi Street, West Perth (premises of the ITA Office).

Andy has offered his experience to theatre groups around Perth, and this would be the perfect opportunity to get an (inexpensive) example of his services. If you're thinking of directing a fight scene, or being in a fight scene, and you haven't got a chesty redhead close at hand, how can you afford NOT to spend a lousy $10 for some expert tips. (Not calling you cheap, Andy, but I'm sure Amanda's services come a lot more expensively (expansively?))

There will be a booking form in the May edition of the ITA Link newsletter, or you can simply phone or email the ITA Secretary (Norma Davis) on 9420-7242 or 9457-2471 A/H, or davisrn@cygnus.uwa.edu.au

Those of you who don't attend will forevermore live in mortal dread of those lucky few of us who will be taught to maim and kill with but a single toenail or strand of hair. You have been warned not to miss this class!

Further to Jarrod's message about the forthcoming Unarmed Ccombat workshop on May 12th:-

Andy will be taking two courses in his speciality at the upcoming UWA Winter School in June-July. WE are offering you a taste of these at a reasonable cost. Please let us know if you wish to attend as I need to know how much cake to buy!!

I urge all actors to join the workshop, to have a taste of what Andy has to offer.
I am currently doing a Basic Stage Combat course under Andy's direction with other actors, and can recommend him as a quality professional in his field.
The fellow actors in the course are enjoying being taught both the unarmed combat and the use of swords and daggers in a safe and proper theatrical manner.
After the completion of the course and receiving an internatiionally recognised qualification, a number of us wish to go on and do the intermediate course, providing we all p ass! Under Andy's direction I'm sure we won't have a problem.
The skills I have learnt so far have already given me a greater understanding in combat than I had previously. Trust me you'll have a look at what he has to offer and will want to learn more.
Call and join up for the workshop, you won't be disappointed!

Thanks Cory for your endorsement, I hope we will be able to present Andy with a reasonable number of students.
