Veteran stage combatant Erik Hall will teach"Fighting for Actors" at Circle Players, from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 10. Students will learn proper technique to physical actions that they have a high probability of encountering in most stage work. Tickets cost $20, and are available only online.
Techniques to be covered include slaps: forehand and backhand; punches: cross, uppercut and jab; knaps: self or first person, secondary and third person; falling: front and rear; kicks, hair-pulling and choking; and rolling, if time allows.
Students will be paired at the end of class and given a scenario and allowed to create a “fight” to showcase to the class for critique.
Students should wear comfortable clothes and sneakers. If they have difficulty kneeling or sensitive knees, knee pads are recommended.
Erik Hall has many years of experience staging fights on the stages of local theaters, as well as the New Jersey Renaissance Fair, where he was an actor, writer, and director for over 10 years.
