Beginning Stage Combat-  Basic Illusions of Violence covers the foundational skills of basic stage combat. From partnering to angles, we will be teaching artists the basic principles of engagement in order to be able to craft a story without endangering themselves. This workshop is a combination of technique, theory, and essential self-defense for actors. 

There are too many times when actors have had to "just figure it out". The goal of this workshop is for any actor to be comfortable enough to come up with believable actions and stay safe while telling their story.

*this class is appropriate for ages 12 and up

Time Stands Still focuses on Sarah and James, a photojournalist and a foreign correspondent trying to find happiness in a world that seems to have gone crazy. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the toughest stories, and together, making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life.

“Mr. Margulies is gifted at creating complex characters through wholly natural interaction, allowing the emotional layers, the long histories, the hidden kernels of conflict to emerge organically. Throughout, his dialogue crackles with bright wit and intelligence. Although TIME STANDS STILL is deceptively modest, consisting of a handful of conversations among just four characters, the range of feeling it explores is wide and deep.” —The New York Times.

“Can you be a dispassionate, uninvolved observer of horrific events, recording them for posterity and still keep a sense of right and wrong, not to mention your sanity? It’s one of several questions getting a workout in TIME STANDS STILL…Insightful writing, the work is smart, stylish, timely and layered with an intriguing seriousness that inspires discussion after the curtain comes down—a rarity these days.” —Associated Press.
