Jun 29, 2016 Stage Combat Video Project
Hello!
The J. Willard Marriott Library’s support for faculty extends beyond the classroom. This post will explore the collaboration between the Video Studio and Prof. Christopher DuVal from the College of Fine Art’s Theatre Program.
I was able to shoot, produce, and edit several hours of instructional video in support of his text, Stage Combat Arts: An Integrated Approach to Acting, Voice and Text Work + Video (Performance Books). Conversations about the project began almost a year in advance of shooting. Building upon a strong working relationship with the Theatre program Professor DuVal and I had many opportunities to create visual imagery to support direct content from the text with stage combat masters from around the country. Professor Jerry Gardner was featured in several videos. His intensity and focus provided several entertaining hours of filming. Professor Duval’s Sensei Michael Friedl flew in from Ashland, Oregon for several days of filming to help demonstrate and refine the theatrical use of combat techniques. The finalized learning objects were intended to help students understand stage combat within the actor-training program. The text and finished videos were published by Bloomsbury Methuen Drama and is available in the Marriott Library for checkout.
