"SSCS MASTERCLASSES"
SSCS Masterclasses are a one day Stage Combat experience. Designed as an introduction to Stage Combat they cover a variety of different weapons and combat systems. Each Masterclass covers the basics of footwork, balance, combat movement, timing, offensive and defensive techniques, partnership, safety and fun. All Masterclasses finish with a short piece of choreography to see how the techniques learnt through-out the day come together for use in performance. Masterclasses are an exciting day that are open and appropriate to everyone who has ever had a love of swords and sword movies and had the desire to try it in a safe and supportive environment. Everything we do is about partnership and performance. We do not spar or train in a competitive nature. Ever. No prior experience is necessary.
details for the next series of Masterclasses for 2010 will be added shortly
'Masterclasses 2010'
After a poll I took at Casual Classes last year the SSCS Masterclasses for 2010 are based on your choices and are as follow, however if there is something you really want that isn't here then let me know, and if the interest is there we'll see what we can do." BASIC LEVEL CERTIFICATE COURSE"
This is a one week intensive course and covers 'Unarmed' and 'Single Theatrical Sword' for the stage and screen. As this is a certified workshop it culminates in an exam. The exam consists of you and a partner learning a piece of choreography, which includes elements of both systems, and then performing that choreography within the context of a scene complete with dialogue. This is all covered within the week. You spend the first half of the week learning the techniques and the second working on the exam choreo. The fight is choreographed and directed by the Instructor.
When: July 11th - 17th or November 14th - 20th
Time: 9:00am to 5:00pm Daily
Where :St Canice's Church Hall, 28 Roslyn Street, Kings Cross
Cost: $525.00
Workshop fee includes examination fee and your first years membership with The Society of Australian FIght Directors Inc, (SAFDi).
'INTERMEDIATE LEVEL CERTIFICATE COURSE'
This is the next step for serious Actor/Combatants that have completed their 'Basic Certification' requirements. This one week intensive workshop takes a much more historically accurate approach to Stage Combat and strengthens, heightens and extends upon your skills. Covering four different combat systems (Units); 'Rapier & Dagger', 'Dueling Sword', 'Martial Arts for the Stage & Screen' and 'Asian Staff', this is a truly challenging week that will change the way you view and approach fight scenes on stage forever, but the rewards are worth ever drop of sweat. As with all certification workshops this week will end with a performance fight scene in each style.
(N.B. If it had been a while since you completed your Basic, or had a sword in your hand, and you wish to participate in this workshop I strongly suggest that you try to get to a few Casuals beforehand. As mentioned the new curriculum is quite challenging and you need a reasonable level of skill to start this workshop if you expect success.)
When: June 12th - 20th or October 9th - 17th
Time: 9:00am - 5:00pm Daily
Where : St Canice's Church Hall, 28 Roslyn Street, Kings Cross
Cost: $1020.00 ($255.oo per Unit)
