FIGHT CAMP

All classes are at The Theatre Lab, 733 8th Street NW Co-Sponsored by Theatre Lab School of the Dramatic Arts

Taught by company member Casey Kaleba, Rorschach Theatre’s resident fight choreographer, and company member Megan Reichelt

Sharpen those swords and spend some time learning stage combat in a way only Rorschach Theatre can deliver. Taught by Rorschach Theatre company member and resident ninjas* Casey Kaleba and Megan Reichelt, these classes are rooted in traditional stage combat technique but draw from a wide range of approaches and styles.

The classes can be taken as a whole training program or as a series of drop-in classes. For performers and students with no experience, these classes will offer an excellent introduction to stage combat theory and practice. For those already familiar, it’s a chance to refresh skills and pick up some new tricks.
