Commedia dell’Arte
First up, a commedia dell’arte workshop with the superb and quirky talent of Olly Crick.
Olly has over 30 years experience as an actor, teacher, director, musician, writer, clown and creator of wacky organised chaos on stage.
I have the pleasure to say I worked on three shows with Olly, so I am glad to be able to offer 28 hours of workshop time for people in Prague.
We will cover the basics, history, characters, mask work and physical characterisation in 3 evenings, and follow up with 2 full days at the weekend, where we will devise and perform a small show.
No previous experience is required.
A deposit is required to ensure a spot. Please check out the facebook event.

Historical fencing/stage combat
Second up, I have contacted some of Prague’s best and most renowned theatre and movie sword players at A.R.G.O. They run an historical fencing school AKA AKA – akademie rytířských umění
We are offering again short intensive. Three evenings and a half day Saturday.
The course will cover basic footwork and techniques for beginners, and present students with some experience more advanced techniques and basic sparring. Aspects of stage combat will also be explored.
The sword styles/schools covered will be Italian rapier and Hungarian sabre.
Presently we’re in negotiation of extending that to a full weekend at their base in Tabor. An incredible historical location with an amazing armoury.
The cost of the course includes hire of equipment: weapons, masks and basic body protection.
