Stage Combat/ Choreography Lessons??

G'day All I’ve seen a few members inquiring about stage combat courses. There seems to be a genuine interest in violence on stage/film :) And why not!!! It is a fantastic skill to have and always looks good on a CV. My question is then…what is the genuine feel out there if a school was created to teach people stage combat??? I’ve been doing martial arts for over 7 years and my brother and I are both professional Choreographers. We are currently doing martial arts scenes for an animation that, if all goes well, will be show and sold to Hollywood. We are also currently helping out for an amateur dramatics stage play where we will be teaching people how to fight with a scythe (Death’s weapon). Ultimately it is always easier when people have had training in martial arts but I just want to get a feel for what people think… Let me know…Oh and don’t forget to smile :) David Green DRAGON FILMS

hi, i think what you might end up doing is a great idea, and it will offer experience to people which might help them in their careers which will make them want to be apart of a school. Anways i would be appart of it because i am wanting to learn stage combat as experience and an extra skill. If the price was reasonable i am sure alot of people like myself would be willing to learn! P.S how did u get into the whole animation gig? It sounds really amazing! goodluck! :-)
