In this episode, Tim sits down with four certified stage combat instructors and one ren faire combat artist, brought together by one writer/director to put on a production for the upcoming Theatre Crude Fringe Festival. Karena Van Horn has put together a fantasy roleplaying style adventure production that stages fighting throughout, and so we sat down with the combatants to discuss the ins and outs of stage combat and why having a combat choreographer is so important and why safety is the name of the game. So, grab your knives, staves and swords and prepare yourself for dueling microphones!
