Once off Stage Combat Acting Workshop


Sunday  September 25th
12:00pm to 04:00pm

Only 15 Spots - Bookings Now Open

An introductory workshop to the safety, illusions and performance behind selling combat for stage, screen and motion capture.

Dramatic combat is one of the most exciting elements of performance to perform and watch. However there is also a high degree of risk associated, as we are dealing with heightened emotion and specific physical choreography. The craft is learning how to look like you want to hurt someone, while doing everything you can to keep them and yourself safe.

Taught by Fight Director Lyndall Grant, this introductory workshop will cover the basics of unarmed dramatic combat. We will be hitting, kicking and strangling our way through the afternoon, with our work culminating in a short fight scene performed for the class. You will leave with an understanding of the fundamentals behind unarmed stage combat, and what it takes to perform it safely and repeatedly. This is the perfect workshop for anyone who is dipping their toe into this kind of work for the first time, or who would like to play with fight performance… because let’s be honest, it’s a huge amount of fun.

Self Test Auditions

In the post-lockdown era of 2022 - with the advent of the internet, social media, smartphones, DSLR cameras and computer editing software - actors and casting directors alike have unprecedented access to the various means of video production and consumption. Producers and Directors are increasingly moving away from Go-Sees and in-person auditions, and towards the submission of DIY online Self-Tape auditions: especially for large, open casting calls that are not specifically inviting a known actor to audition for a project. It is absolutely essential to the survival of a working professional actor to master the artistry, craft and science of a clean, lean and mean self-tape. Learn the technicalities of how-to set-up video, sound & lighting and the not-so-technical human process of how step in front of the camera with confidence, clarity, poise, thoughtful interpretation of a script, interesting creative moments and powerful emotional choices - all whilst finding a way to use tricks of the trade to stand-out from the crowd.


Elliott is excited to help guide actors on their own very unique yet unified journey towards self-discovery and self-mastery with acting. Acting is a very powerfully human process that we all share and practice every-day off set and off camera but we are all very different and must learn not only what drives us but what obstacles or blockages stand in the way of our performances reaching maximum impact.  


This course will cover the following:


  • Script Breakdown
  • Responding to Direction
  • Improvisation
  • Screen Acting Technicalities
  • Stylistic differences: Comedy vs Drama
  • Making bold choices
  • Finding your own voice
  • Expanding the limits of your range
  • TVCs (Ads) vs. Film/TV vs. Live Theatre
  • Point & Shoot - How to set-up and submit your own self-tapes
  • Professional Communication - How to work with your agent not against them!!
