Stagefight Workshop

Three Bridgnorth Player members joined a couple of school pupils and a real actress at the Edge Arts Centre at Much Wenlock William Brooks School for a stage fight workshop on 23rd January.
Olly Crick of the Fabulous Old Spot Theatre Company took us through our paces and we quickly learned that it is the "victim" who controls the action in stage fights. He combined technical know-how with entertainment, showing how the victim responds to attack, whether a "poor female", a heavywieight thug or a panto clown.
We stamped, slapped, pulled hair, punched, kicked and felt all the better for it! Two hours well spent and excellent value at £3.
Thanks to Olly, to the school for providing the mirrored rehearsal room and Arts Alive for supporting the event.
