Hiring a Fight Director
HowlRound: Your theatre company is doing Romeo and Juliet for the next show in your season. Shakespeare wrote multiple fights in the play, so you’ve wisely hired a fight director to choreograph them. The following show has only a couple of slaps, a push, and a fall. One of the actors cast in Romeo and Juliet is also cast in that show. He’s had a little stage combat training over the years, so you wonder if you really need to hire a fight director since he can probably choreograph those minor incidents, and will do it for much less?
