Stage Combat: Unarmed

Roger Bartlett

Sinopsis

'This is a book about how to beat the living daylights out of another human being safely...'
Roger Bartlett – professional fight director and Master Teacher for the British Academy of Stage & Screen Combat – leads you through everything you need to know in order to create and perform unarmed stage fights that are compelling, realistic and, above all, safe.
Starting with the essential concepts, including Victim Control and Reversal of Energy, you will learn how to perform all of the following moves:

- Slapping
- Punching
- Kicking
- Strangling
- Pulling and Pushing
- Falling
- Locking
- Blocking
Each technique is clearly described, extensively illustrated, and accompanied by online videos demonstrating it in slow motion and at full speed. Also included are chapters on understanding and conveying your character's pain, and creating and rehearsing your own fight sequence.
For those already trained in stage combat, it will serve as a comprehensive reminder of what you have learned, and supplement your ongoing training. For amateur, fringe and student companies, the book offers a thorough understanding of the practicalities of staging a fight, but also helps you to recognise when you may need to call upon the services of a qualified professional.
Whatever your current level of experience, Stage Combat: Unarmed is the essential book for directors, actors, students and teachers, or indeed anyone looking to incorporate safe, effective stage fights into their productions.

Up from Slavery; an Unfinished...

Archie Morris III

For a period of 85 years, the M Street/Dunbar High School was an academically elite, all-black public high school in Washington, D.C.  As far back as 1899, its students came in first in citywide tests given in both black and white schools.  Over this 85-year span, approximately 80 percent of M Street/Dunbar’s graduates went on to college, even though most Americans, white or black, did not attend college at all. Faculty and students were mutually respectful to one another, and disruptions in the classroom were not tolerated. Yet, in this era of best practices, this public high school, whose founders experienced slavery and segregation firsthand, has received virtually no attention in the literature or in policy considerations for inner-city education.  The purpose of this study is to explore the history of a high school that was successful in teaching black children from families at all income levels to excel and to determine if the learning model employed in the past could be successful in a modern inner-city public education environment.

GLADIATOR 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY RIDLEY SCOTT 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Gladiator (2000), directed by Ridley Scott, is an epic historical drama set in ancient Rome. The film follows Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe), a betrayed Roman general who is reduced to slavery and forced to fight as a gladiator. Seeking revenge for the brutal murder of his family and the wrongful death of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Maximus rises through the gladiatorial ranks. The film explores themes of loyalty, vengeance, justice, and the corrupting influence of power. With intense action sequences and emotional depth, Gladiator is both a tale of personal redemption and a critique of political tyranny. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Joaquin Phoenix improvised his scream of ‘Am I not merciful?’ during a scene with Connie Nielsen, who was genuinely frightened by the unexpected outburst.” 
  
“The score by Hans Zimmer for *Gladiator* became one of the bestselling movie soundtracks of all time.” 
  
“The signet ring worn by Connie Nielsen’s character was a real antique discovered in a shop, dating back over 2,000 years.” 
  
“Maximus’ tattoo, ‘SPQR,’ stands for ‘Senatus Populusque Romanus,’ meaning ‘The Senate and the Roman People,’ which was a famous slogan of Rome.” 
  
“Russell Crowe's portrayal of Maximus in *Gladiator* is considered one of his best performances, earning him the Academy Award for Best Actor.”
