Hand-to-Hand Stage Combat Workshop

Christina Johnston (who has been directing and choreographing for over 20 years, and holds a black belt in Aikido) will teach fundamental maneuvers of stage combat with a major emphasis on safety. This workshop will include instruction in the art of unarmed hand-to-hand stage fighting and basic stage combat choreography, and will focus on punches, slaps, and kicks. Additionally, tumbling with an emphasis on showing how this relates to falls and throws, coupled with chokes and hair pulls.  Students should come in comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement.
