Stage Combat *New*

Tutor: Stav Dvorkin
Free: €150
This course is suitable for complete beginners and those actor-combatants looking to improve their unarmed fighting skills for film and theatre. Unarmed is probably the most requested skill set for fight performers and this course will cover all the essentials as well as build your strength and confidence to make you a more effective performer.
We will also focus on acting skills and students will work on incorporating their fight choreography into dramatic scenes. Exploring topics such as character objective, fight rhythm and staging, actors will learn to create a fight where they are connected and truthful and as such engaging to an audience.
This element, offered through St.Tiernan’s Adult Education, is an introductory opportunity to experience a stage combat course without certification at the end. (20 hours). If students wish to complete the certification element of the course, it will be an additional 10 hours (located in Inchicore with the Tutor), examination and an additional cost for certification. The examination will take place on the final weekend of the course. The certification exam is with the Irish Dramatic Combat Academy in unarmed fighting, providing industry-recognized certification.
