  • 1.  Fight coordinator in Phoenix area?

    Posted 06-27-2017 16:57
    We will be producing Robin Hood by Larry Blamire (due to a suggestion from this forum, BTW!) and I am looking for a fight coordinator with experience in instructing and choreographing students in swordplay scenes. This play has A LOT of sword (and other) fights. I'll need help. Please send suggestions my way if you know of Phoenix area qualified people! Production performs in early November, rehearsals begin early September. Additionally, I am excited about finding this script! Very funny, lots of action and characters. Others may want to check it out as a potential large-cast comedy. 

    Cheers!

    Two great resources locally, and you may even know them already: 
    Andrea Robinson at PVCC, Certified Fight Coordinator, Faculty and Theatre Director
     Email: andrea.robertson@paradisevalley.edu
    and
    Ric Alpers  - just did a Stage Combat workshop and show at Starlight Community Theater.  Find him on Facebook.

    Best of luck!
