Students learn to perform fundamental techniques in the eight basic "fight" disciplines recognized by the SAFD. Each class emphasizes the development of the student’s personal command and understanding of their body in relation to theatrical physical conflict while encouraging each student’s personal development and artistic exploration.
The Introduction to Stage Combat Workshop will return in the summer of 2024.
This track is only open to folks who have previously tested in and passed Skills Proficiency Tests in all eight SAFD-recognized weapons styles. The first week of the Intensive, The Sandbox , has no testing component and focuses instead on allowing actors to hone their skills, push their physical limits, and work with other advanced students of the craft in a challenging technical environment. The second week of the Intensive, The SPR Series , offers the opportunity to take Skills Proficiency Renewals (SPRs)
