Description

"Swashbuckling is the ultimate guide to stage fighting technique and basic swordplay, in words and in pictures - about 400 of them, almost all taken expressly for this large-format book - it covers everything an actor must know and everything an actor must do to give a dynamic and convincing performance as a stage combatant. Covered in detail are weaponry, warm-up exercises, unarmed combat, footwork, defense and attack techniques, and working with fight directors."--Jacket.
