Stage combat is a constantly evolving craft, responsive to the
growing demands of an ever changing industry and an ever more
perceptive audience. Experienced fight director, teacher and
examiner Philip d'Orleans shows how to respond to this challenge
through innovative techniques. Unarmed Stage Combat explores the
fundamental performance principles of violence on stage, before a
dedicated series of chapters focus on over forty specific unarmed
combat techniques, including non-contact slaps, punches, kicks and
chokes as well as controlled contact and the illusion of falling.
Each technique is beautifully illustrated with step-by-step photos
and detailed practical guidance through the preparation, action and
reaction to the movement, as well as the key safety principles,
common pitfalls and staging variables. Supported by stunning fight
photos from professional productions, this indispensable handbook
is equally as valuable for beginners at the start of their career
or preparing for their fight performance exam as it will be for
seasoned professionals seeking to refresh their knowledge.
