GENERAL INFO
We will focus on the principles and techniques of theatrical violence, combined with the aspects required for film fighting. We will hone in on mechanics of stage fighting and skills required to be safe and expressive. We will also attend to variety of acting decisions that make fighting styles and techniques reflect character and story. Basic level are perfect way to start to study dramatic combat or to have basic training in the chosen disciplines.
Classes are taught by NSFS teacher-students. Training and planning is supervised by NSFS certified mentor-teachers Oula Kitti, Iiro Heikkilä.
"Stage fighting is the illusion of physical conflict for stage and screen. Stage fighting is a system of techniques, sounds and movements that together create a violent story. Stage fighting is based on choreography and cooperation, and includes both armed and unarmed fighting. Every move is carefully planned and agreed on beforehand with an emphasis on the safety of the performer and a focus on transmitting the story that is being told to a third party."
