Swordfighting Workshops

The essential introduction to swordplay for actors. Learn techniques from a master Fight Director. Improve physical clarity onstage, and connect stage combat to acting intent and emotion. Stage Combat is a codified art form that once learnt, makes it easy to choreograph and work with fight directors around the world. Ages 8+

The Duelling Dames

Live Theater & sword fighting workshops. The Dames teach history with hilarity, astound with swordfighting skills, and are daring enough to bring audience members onstage. Female empowerment? Yes! Anti bullying? We’ve got it!  Workshops that disseminate violence in the media?  Only the Dames do that!
