You've done your boundary check, you know how to do a knap - now what? This workshop takes the toolkit of the most common stage combat actions - pushes, slaps, punches, chokes - and explores how to make acting and directorial choices with those techniques. How do you blend safety and spontaneous moments, physical agency with artistic vision, or fight calls and the illusion of the first time? This workshop draws from thousands of punches thrown in hundreds of shows to give you a rehearsal-tested, audience-approved set of skills.
