STAGE FIGHTING

Derek Oliver • May 7, 2018

Diary of a drama teacher...

Teaching stage fighting techniques is the best fun ever! One of our Youth Theatre plays this year contains a fight scene. So in Driffield on Friday and Earswick on Saturday I taught our teenagers how to act like they were beating the seven bells out of each other without an injury in sight! Punches, slaps, kicks and hair pulling - they loved it and the scene they created was so effective. Can't wait to see it fitted into the play.
