In our second episode of the series, fight director Kate Waters (Kombat Kate) reveals how an instinct for physical storytelling led her to choreograph the moments that make us gasp at The Bridge. She reflects on why the story must always lead the movement, the quiet, invisible work that builds confidence in the room, and the simple truth that the most important part of any day is the first minute – when trust is won.

She takes us inside Julius Caesar’s street-level brutality and the electric brawl in Guys & Dolls – right down to the sound that sells a slap – and talks about crafting danger that feels real while keeping actors and audiences completely safe. And when it comes to imagining her fantasy production, Kate turns to the Lionesses and women’s sport – exploring strength, solidarity and ambition through a story that feels as dynamic and immediate as The Bridge itself.
