DRA 413 Advanced Stage Combat

An extension of the studies of stage combat, this course teaches skills required to perform staged combat for theatrical productions, with a focus on combining industry-standard safety techniques with convincing interpretation. Techniques taught include advanced unarmed combat, rapier and dagger, broadsword, and quarterstaff. Students should be prepared for intense, physically demanding class sessions. Some practice outside of class will be necessary. The course will culminate in a showcase performance open to the public.
