OOOOOHHHH MY GOOOOOHHHHDDDD.... Thanks so much for putting on the weekend - I had a thoroughly great time.
HANDGUNS:
just generally cool!
No, seriously, very useful info.
FANTASY FIGHTING:
really, really enjoyable. At the start, I was quite intimidated by, you know, having to actually make up something myself (he he), but I think Tony explained it really well, and it was quite a buzz to start to explore the possibilities of forming a new fighting style. Also got a lot out of this in that it made me think more about noticing different fighting styles in each new stage combat situation - in terms of characterisation, background/setting etc. - rather than just performing generalised 'moves' in each combat routine I do.
BLOOD AND GUTS: yeah, BRILLIANT. REAAAAAAALLLLLYY enjoyed this. Ruth was very clear (and patient!), and it was really great to be able to play and experiment. Definitely found that I took a lot away from this class.
Everything was organised really well though, and the whole weekend had a very positive feel.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
I sent one of my employees on your course last weekend and he has come back raving about it. He loved it and will be attending many of your courses in the future (as will other members of staff).

Industry Intensive Weekend 9/10th June 07
It was a great weekend, the opportunity to study different styles of fighting and learning new skills outside the pressure of a fight exam. The wrestling and film fights were a personal favorite. I loved the messy group fight but, as with every actor combatant, would have loved more punches for myself! A brilliant chance to play.
I though pricewise and location was more than fine, the hall itself is a great space. I loved the workshops. The Fantasy fight was actually very insightful and has given me a lot to think about in terms of how to approach characters in different ways or pre-fight blocking. The variety of the course was good and also the mix of people attending was great. So many people with experience which i think was a great benefit to those who were inexperienced but willing. Again to see how a variety of fight directors work was also very interesting and can only benefit anyone wanting to learn different but equally relevant approaches to choreography and teaching.
Really enjoyed it, so thanks.
just a note to thank yourself, Rachel and the team for being such excellent hosts. I had a good time at the workshop and congratulate RC-Annie for thinking outside the box.
