Vidoes

All of the performances are done on a stage measuring 15’x 23’. This does not mean that the fights are not suitable for stages that are smaller or larger. I have taken this into consideration and formed the fight sequences accordingly.

The Swordplay for Shakespeare video series makes studying the fight choreography like memorizing lines.

Studying dialogue and character is time consuming, and frustration can set in when the actor is given a chore such as staging his own fight. Generally the actors know nothing about sword play, but they do know that in Shakespeare’s plays it is an important part. One that if done poorly, unsafe or not at all, can take the audience right out of the show and what you are trying to accomplish. If done well, however, it will add considerably to the overall performance.

Swordplay for Shakespeare takes that burden away from the actor. It brings the fight choreography and training to you. The video has no drawn out how to sword fight descriptions that are hard to follow and can sometimes be even more time consuming and frustrating than doing it yourself. The actor gets just the information he/she will need for that particular fight. What’s more, you will have this video forever and even though new actors will take your stage every time you perform The Master’s classics, you will always have the same quality fights, the simplest way of learning them as well as safe and moving choreography.
