Our course ‘Introduction to Unarmed Combat’ is a fun, two-day intensive in unarmed stage combat with theatre and film fight director Keith Wallis. This short course is perfect for those who are new to the world of stage combat, or for more experienced actors who are looking to brush on their skills and refine their stage fighting techniques further. The workshop will be taught by a tutor from the Actors Centre’s regular programme for professional actors.

You’ll have a chance to explore the fundamentals of safe and effective stage fighting, learning a wide range of different skills and developing a strong ‘toolkit’ of techniques that are vital for fight performance in the industry. Alongside basic technique, participants will have the opportunity to learn and perform fight choreography, with the option of attaining a basic certification in unarmed stage combat. Please suitable loose clothing and appropriate footwear for movement work.
