This workshop aims to equip actors with the necessary skills and knowledge to transition their stage combat experience into effective screen combat techniques. Actors will gain invaluable insights into the world of combat for screen, how that translates to a working set and working with cameras, as well as what to expect when working with stunt coordinators.

CORE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Understanding Screen Combat
Camera Awareness, blocking and framing
 Basic techniques recap
 Choreography for camera

  Advanced Techniques and Safety
 Work environment and Set dynamics
