HENRY HOLOPAINEN itsestään ja tulevasta Fight Sundaysta:

"Koulutukseltani olen puuseppä ja tällä hetkellä olen apulaisnäyttämömestari Kouvolan teatterissa. Olen tehnyt teatteria 25 vuotta esiintyjänä ja tanssijana.  

Tule oppimaan näyttämötaistelun perusteita. Koulutus on erittäin hyvä niille jotka haluavat aloittaa näyttämötaistelun. Myös vanhat ovat erittäin tervetulleita kertaamaan jo opittuja asioita. 

Fight Sundayn aikana käydään läpi näyttämötaistelun perusteita turvallisesti. Päivän ensimmäisellä jaksolla käydään aseetonta taistelua. Lyöntejä, torjuntoja ja reaktioita. Teemme myös pienen koreografian.  Päivän toisella puoliskolla käydään rapier-miekkailua. Opettelemme miekkailu turvallisesti näyttämötaistelun tavoin."

Fight Sundays are open level workshops dedicated to various themes related to the art of stage and screen fight. Every Fight Sunday offers a great opportunity to introduce yourself to the field, learn new skills or practice the techniques you are already familiar with.

Whether you are a theatre, dance or circus professional, or you are an enthusiast, who always wanted to learn about performing and creating stories of violence - come to the workshop! The training is sure to be both fun and useful as you learn partnering, cooperation and coordination skills, agility, precision and spatial awareness.

It is especially good for those who are new to our system, but it is also an excellent opportunity for more advanced fighters to remind themselves of the fundamental principals of performing violence and keep up the essential skills!
