Stage Combat workshop offered April 30, May 1

A free stage combat workshop will be offered Tuesday, April 30 (for ages 10 to 16) and Wednesday, May 1, (for ages 16 and older) at the Valéncia Arts Center, located at 10th and Vila streets. The event is 4 to 5:30 p.m. and no pre-registration is required. It is being held in partnership with Great River Shakespeare Festival.

Violence is a part of the life we create on stage, and there isn’t always a fight choreographer to help. Actors and directors need to know how to tell a clear story with violence and how to perform it safely. In this workshop participants will learn basic principles of unarmed stage combat that will help them create simple, safe and effective violence on stage.
