Morning and Afternoon: Hand to Hand Combat

Come learn how to slap, punch, kick, and drag each other across the stage in ways that will leave
your audience speechless! In this workshop you will learn techniques on how to execute and
perform stage combat safely. By the end of the session, you will have learned a fight that can be
performed with two people or maybe even a whole group! No prior experience is necessary, and
participants should come ready to move and in clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty.
