The Lab
Join us for an awesome Stage Combat workshop with one of the Azimuth Theatre Co-Producers’ Morgan Yamada!
In this class, you’ll learn or brush up on the essential skills of stage combat, like falls, punches, and slaps. And don’t worry, we’ll always prioritize your physical safety and well-being so you can perform like a pro, show after show.
Morgan will guide you through the basics of choreography and show you how to tell a story through movement. It’s a fun and collaborative lab where you can meet and interact with other cool people, regardless of your experience level.
Just wear comfortable clothes and bring a water bottle, and you’re all set.
So don’t wait any longer; sign up now and get ready to explore the magical world of stage combat. We can’t wait to see you there!
