MASTER CLASS WORKSHOPS
Babes With Blades is committed to providing
opportunities for actor-combatants of both genders to sharpen
their skills by sponsoring master classes.Our
first such workshop was held in September 2002 and was taught
by David "Pops" Doersch, an experienced Fight
Director and founding member of the International Order
of the Sword and Pen. Since then we have sponsored three
more workshops with both Doersch and Tony Wolf, founder
of the New Zealand Stage Combat Society and Cultural Fighting
Styles Designer for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
In addition, we sponsored A Taste of Swash: a three-part
workshop, led by Chicago-area experts Angela Bonacasa, R&D
Choreography, and David Woolley, focusing on the fighting
style specific to the singlesword.
