Stage Combat (Non-Contact) with RC-Annie

In The Studio

3-hour theatrical masterclass

 

At Drama Kids, we’re proud to partner with top industry professionals to offer unique creative experiences outside the classroom.

One of our past “In The Studio” highlights was a high-energy, 3-hour Stage Combat (Non-Contact) masterclass delivered by the UK’s leading fight company, RC-Annie.

This non-contact workshop was taught with safety and fun at its core.

It gave students a chance to challenge themselves, try something new, and gain real theatrical skills in a memorable setting.

Equipment used:

  • Ages 6–9: Foam swords

  • Ages 10–15: Nylon swords
    All equipment was provided and used under expert supervision.

Keep an eye out for future “In The Studio” events, designed to spark confidence, curiosity, and creative growth.
