Many of us find ourselves designing theatrical violence for high school or middle school productions or teaching stage combat classes to theatre programs that focus on younger performers. Or perhaps the play you're designing has a child involved in the violence. We quickly discover that working with younger fighters can be a very different experience than designing with adults.
In this episode, I discuss 4 of the major challenges dealing with this age group, give you six teaching strategies for working with them more effectively, and five tips to help you design violence that best showcases the younger performer.
