  • 1.  Fight Choreographer for Dayton OH region

    Posted 09-10-2018 14:15
    Hey everyone!

    I am potentially looking for a fight choreographer to help stage some sword fights for my school's spring production. Any recommendations?

    The show is Macbeth, and we will have auditions in Feb. and the show runs in April.

    We are in the Dayton area, and would like to stay local. 


    Thanks for your help!

    I would contact Wright State University, Human Race Theatre, and LaComedia Dinner Theatre.  They could probably point you in the right direction.  If they aren't able to help, let me know and I can give you some names in Cincinnati.

    Not local, but amazing and affordable.  This is the man who taught Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams.  I used them to teach fight choreo for Peter Pan and Lion, Witch, Wardrobe.  They rent stage swords and weapons.  Wouldn't work with anyone else.

    Reach out the K. Jenny Jones at Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. She's a fight master with the SAFD and would be a great tool for recommendations!

    The only Ohio fight choreographers I know are in the Cleveland area.... BUT - I suggest contacting Human Race Theatre Company. See if that's something they can arrange or something they offer through their artist-in-residence program.

    Or you could contact Wright State's theatre department. 

    Good luck!

    I would recommend reaching out to Bruce Cromer at Wright State as he would be the closest to choreograph.

    If he's willing to make the commute from Cincinnati, the person I would highly recommend would be Jonn Baca. He's a certified teacher with the Society of American Fight Directors. I've worked with him both as an actor and an assistant director. As a certified teacher, he is proficient in all weapons and styles, including broadsword, rapier & dagger, and single sword. While he doesn't have a website, you can reach out to him at eedge@yahoo.com.

    Hope this helps!
