Stage combat is a constantly evolving craft, responsive to the growing demands of an ever changing industry and an ever more perceptive audience. Experienced fight director, teacher, and examiner Philip d'Orleans shows how to respond to this challenge through innovative techniques and original choreography. 'Unarmed Stage Combat' explores the fundamental performance principles of violence on stage, before a dedicated series of chapters focus on more than 40 specific unarmed combat techniques, including non-contact slaps, punches, kicks and chokes as well as controlled contact and the illusion of falling. Each technique is beautifully illustrated with step-by-step photos and detailed practical guidance through the preparation, action and reaction to the movement, as well as the key safety principles, common pitfalls, and staging variables.
