Description

Theatrical Violence Design offers the reader a complete education in the theory and practice of designing violence for the theater. From sword fights to exchanges of gunfire to domestic violence, the theater abounds in physical conflict. The artists who design that violence, sometimes called fight directors or choreographers, will find in this book an invaluable resource for becoming more expert at their craft. In the chapters of this book, they will encounter the core principles of creating violent effects, the body of knowledge with which they should be familiar, and the nuts and bolts of the process of design work from the first meeting with a director through closing night. This book is written for the student of stage combat to transition into violence design and will also be of interest to experienced violence designers and choreographers.
