Fight for your Art! - A Workshop in Stage Combat
Date: 18 February 2012
Time: 10.30 - 17.00 (two sessions with breaks)
Venue: The Pavilion public house, W12 (nearest tube White City - see on Google Maps)
Cost: £10
Booking: email barrie@cp-theatre.org.uk
Maximum number of participants is 20
This Workshop aims to give participants a flavour of both armed and unarmed combat
in a safe and controlled environment.
The Armed section will include cut and thrust and a chance to work with small
and broadswords and rapiers examining the differences weight and speed make to
essentially similar movement
Unarmed combat will cover punches, slaps, kicks and strangles.
The workshop facilitators are Lindsay and Richard Kirby. The couple both
received their training at the British Academy of Stage and Screen Combat at City
Lit and both continue to attend classes to keep up to date with latest techniques and
developments within their fields of expertise. They also recently performed a fight
showcase at Ikwellbury open day.
Lindsay has choreographed fights in many plays including Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet,
5/11, Dinner and Macbeth, which featured a six-man melee using broadswords. On
the lighter side Lindsay had a bit of fun with a comedy fight in A Midsummer’s
Nights Dream and one for historical dancers using fans!
Richard created the fights for Double Falsehood (21st century London premiere), The
Changeling, Jekyll and Hyde, and Macbeth. He has also fought his way through The
Scarlet Pimpernel and the Pirates of Penzance and a fifteen person fight in Beowulf.
Richard made his CP Theatre debut as Stunt Coordinator for The Turn of the Screw.
