Episode description
This week Megan and Jordan are back on topic with an episode for you on none other than stage combat.
Starting as usual with Jordans ‘a brief history’ segment, going back to the literal beginning of humanity and working its way up through Gladiators, Samurais and Shakespeare, it seems stage combat has existed for as long as performance has.
Your hosts reflect on their own experience with stage combat, from workshops and auditions to training in drama school - an iconic experience (cut tragically short by lockdown) with a teacher who for the sake of the podcast will be referred to as Combat Kevin. If you know you know.
Discussions include why aren’t stunt artists recognised? The tragic yet inspiring story of a stunt gone wrong and how far are you willing to go before you let the experts step in.
Tangents include committing Seppuku (relevant), Chappel Roan in the new Gladiator film, men are guilty and the M slur (M*cb#th).
You can find us as @actingupthepodcast on all socials ;)
We are @megan_alderson_ & @jordan.skids
