Theatrical Fencing Course
The British Academy of Fencing is pleased to offer a one-day taster session in the art of theatrical fencing.
The aim of the workshop is to give an insight into how to construct a swordplay combat phase for the stage & film, and how to coach actors safely in the art of Theatrical Swordplay.
The workshop will be run by Andy Wilkinson, who works professionally in the film business and has done for over 35 years. Andy has worked on many films as a sword master, choreographer, film director, screenwriter and film producer. In addition, working as an Executive Producer in Radio/Audio, as an Independent Supplier to the BBC.
For the past 25 years, Andy has run his own Multimedia Entertainment Company, Wilkinson Productions Ltd. He warmly invites you to explore his website for more details about Andy’s career and his company, WP. (https: www.wilkinsonproductions.com)
Andy will be joined on this one-day special course by Jack Stockdale (BAF member and Equity Registered Fight Director) and Professor Tony Middleton.
Following on from this one-day workshop there is an opportunity to attend a course to gain a recognised qualification in Theatrical Fencing. This could lead to work in theatres, schools and colleges, anywhere drama is taught!
Spaces are limited, so please reserve your place early, to save disappointment.
