Stage Combat Mondays and Thursdays, 7:00-8:30pm, Gym (Aerobics Studio 2) Conflict is the essence of great theatre, film or TV and it is rare to have a performance that doesn’t call for some sort of staged violence. Whether it’s a simple push or slap or a complex sword fight, this violence needs to be done safely so the actors are not in danger of getting hurt for real.
