Fight Choreography/ Stage Combat

40


40 per hour - - Posted Feb 26, 2016

Putting on a play? Got a movie in the making? If your actors need to perform any kind of violence, from a shove to a slap to an epic swordfight, I will design it and teach it, making sure that everyone stays safe and looks awesome!

Training & Qualifications


I am certified specifically through stage combat professional organizations -- the Society of American Fight Directors and Dueling Arts International -- to fight unarmed, with knives, and with various kinds of sword. I assistant-teach both unarmed and weapons classes at the Berkeley Repertory School of Theatre and St, Mary's College of California. I have fight directed shows both here in the Bay Area and in New York City, and I blog about stage combat at notgonnahityou.wordpress.com

Availability & Preferences


I prefer to meet on weekends, somewhere accessible by public transit.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

After trading services with Megan, I knew she'd be a fantastic surprise performer at our Simbi Social. She performed a Fight Choreography and Stage Co...mbat demonstration, complete with fake punches and multiple swords. She is a total natural on stage and holds an audience beautifully. show more

I really didn't know what to expect when signing up to exchange for Megan's stage combat service. But what an unforgettable experience it was! Megan t...aught me all about the history of sword craft and the different weapon types, showcasing them with 8 swords of her own. She then taught me a choreographed swordfighting sequence designed for stage combat, which I got to try with weapons of different hefts. Completely amazing and utterly unlike anything I'd ever done before! Megan is a perfect instructor -- passionate, educated, and patient. show more

It was super convenient to let her know what type of name I was looking for. It usually takes a lot longer with other people to understand my products... and she has been super helpful! show more

About Megan Messinger

Med student by day -- and night -- and on weekends. I remember when I had time to be a writer, crafter, and theater artist, too, and in a previous life I worked in publishing. There are a lot of great... things about being so all over the place in my interests, but sometimes it takes a specialist. So here I am, hoping to share and share alike!show more
