The Essence of Drama is Conflict
Description
Stage combat workshops and experiences for students of all ages.
Squire Theatre was founded in order to introduce students of all ages to the incredibly exciting world of stage combat. To demonstrate safe working practice and to encourage creative learning in a physically engaging and exciting manner. We specialises in providing professional quality stage combat training for a diverse range of clients ranging from schools to professional theatre and film productions.
We have all marvelled at the spectacular fight sequences in our favourite blockbusters or been astounded by the dynamic visceral intensity of a well executed action sequence, but very few of us ever get the chance to play the hero ourselves. A lot of the time this is due to the misinformed belief that stage combat is in some way violent or dangerous. In fact the very opposite is true. Stage combat is all about safety and presentation; using safe and controlled techniques in order to create a repeatable performance that gives the illusion of violence. It is non-competitive, primarily non contact and a great way to encourage team work, trust and physical fitness for all ages.
