Actors on Guard, Second Edition is the most comprehensive book
covering the current practices in learning, rehearsing and
performing safe and dynamic swordfights with the single rapier and
the rapier and dagger for both stage and screen. Focusing
specifically on the Elizabethan rapier and dagger - the most
popular weapons used in stage fights - Actors on Guard provides
actors, directors, teachers, stage managers and technicians the
skills and knowledge essential to presenting safe and effective
swordfights. The book takes the reader through the complex process
of selecting safe stage weapons, learning the basic handling and
management of the rapier and dagger, as well as how to safely move
and interact in the potentially dangerous process of learning,
rehearsing and performing choreographed swordplay. This new edition
has been revised with current industry practices, featuring
hundreds of step-by-step practical exercises in the care and
handling of prop swords, footwork, guards, parries, cutting and
thrusting techniques, blade taking actions, disarms, wounds and
kills using the rapier and dagger, with revised diagrams and
photographs. An excellent sourcebook for university stage combat
classes as well as self-learners, Actors on Guard provides the
reader with the historical, theoretical and practical basis for
mastering the art of sword fighting for the stage and screen. The
book includes access to a wealth of online resources, with
additional information that expands upon specific mechanics,
techniques and concepts covered in the text as well as some video
demonstrations of solo and partnered techniques and exercises.
