TH 224 Stage Combat III
(2 credits)
Rapier and Dagger: The traditional weapons of Shakespeare’s day; picking up from single sword technique, the additional weapon is added to the non-dominant hand, i.e. dagger. The student practices in this double fence style until he or she can use them with facility. Broadsword: The basics of this classic medieval weapon are taught in much the same way as the rapier. Starting with the rudimentary footwork and guards of the weapon, the cut and parries are taught and drilled. The students explore the use of the broadsword through choreography and styles taught. Basic certification with the Society of American Fight Directors is possible upon completion of training.
Prerequisite: TH 223 .
