CFS 11600 Theatrical Screen Combat: Lightsaber

The actor must combine specific techniques with timing and controlled movement to effectively and safely simulate physical conflict. This course will develop and build upon physical skills to enable the student to create illusionary storytelling, through rehearsed theatrical combat techniques for film that will appear convincing on screen, but safe for the actors. Focus will be on Lightsaber dueling and the modern mythological storytelling from whence the weapon derives. The course culminates in a Society of American Fight Directors adjudicated Skills Proficiency Test and Filming of final scenes using green screen technology.
