ACTIVITIES
HISTORICAL FENCING
Historical fencing deals with the study of the theory and practice of
medieval fighting, mainly of XIII and XIV Centuries.
To practice with various kinds of weapon, combined with the stress on security and control, allows to understand, appreciate and experiment fascinating styles and techniques, strongly rooted in European historical and cultural past.

Stage fencing deals with learning how to act likely and
characterized scenes of fights, duels and battles.
From the study of the technique to its application; from the creation, to the testing and finally the realization of a choreography, one learns to collaborate, to communicate, to control, to perform and personalize every movement, with the maximum stress on security and, most of all, fun.
A new way to approach or improve the actor's trade, but also a way of growth and discovery.

TEACHING
Combat training, if viewed as a non competitive activity, based on
complicity between the opponents, can be an extremely formative experience
for actors looking to complete
their preparation: it trains in body control,perception of space, reaction
time, focus and, most of all, helps to learn how to
listen and relate to a sparring
partner.
Didactic activities can be structured in various ways, from weekly meetings to intensive seminars and stages or specific training programs for a single exhibition.
