Critical Thinking: Fight Scene Analysis

Critical Thinking: Fight Scene Analysis

by Drama Teacher Academy

Stage combat is a form of storytelling. The fights need to continue the story that the actors are telling through their lines and scene work. And what makes a fight look even better is the
performers’ actions and reactions to the fight. If a character resorts to violence, they’re obviously feeling strong emotions. This lesson allows students to think critically about how a fight affects a character physically and mentally and how the fight tells the story.
