What is it?

This March Madness is a weekend of training in stage combat. This is the sixth year the workshop has been teaching stage violence in the Greater Cincinnati area! Through the various courses offered, you can learn how to create safe and believable fights for the stage. All instructors are certified in the Society of American Fight Directors.

What is Stage Combat?

Stage Combat is the study of safe choreographed stage violence. This is also considered acting training. We are simply "actors with large props". The goal of the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD) is to create the ILLUSION of violence and the REALITY of the acted moment. This workshop is a brief look into what it takes to create a safe and beleivable fight. To learn more about the Society of American Fight Directors, check out their official website HERE.
