Fantastical Longsword

Shakespeare’s (S)words: An 8 week NYCSS Intensive Track
This 8 week text and combat session will focus on using Shakespeare‘s “keys” to unlock your scene before integrating a sword fight to become a seamlessly part of the story. You will learn how to incorporate a characters’ violence naturally as an extension of the emotional, verbal and psychological state of so many Shakespearean characters.Beginning with a scene from Shakespeare, we will explore how the text and language reveals character intention. Then we’ll get the scene “on its feet” to work on how to tell that story through violence. We will then start rehearsing choreography to get the scene performance ready by the end of the session.Priority will be given to those who have trained with Jared Kirby and NYCSS before opening up to new students. Register by March 1st and then the session will be open to new students.

Bar Fights/Group Fights Sunday Seminar
Who doesn’t love a quiet night out? A few friends, some drinks and a lot of laughs. But before you know it, punches fly and chaos ensues. No one knows who started it, but you may have to finish it! (Or at least grab your drink and find some cover)
This seminar will look at the structure and dynamic of your classic ‘bar fight’. We will also explore how the performer must manage to keep their cool when the basic one- on- one fight escalates into a larger scale group fight.
We will also be looking at the basics of using breakaway props using breakaway bottles! For an extra fee, you can order as many as you’d like to try on that day to smash on yourself or a partner!
