Stage Combat

Consultation
We love telling a good story. Our favourites include empowerment through physical action and ability. And yes, some of our characters make choices that lead them to use violence in ways that are, shall we say, socially unappealing? All part of telling a good story of how we encounter the altercations of our lives. Characters encounter adversity. Some are villains, some are heroes.
We specialize in performing, teaching and directing the physicality of these scenes through action and the craft of stage combat. We offer training at all levels. With over 50 years of experience between us, we support your action storytelling.
