Workshop report: All levels intensive

Can’t believe the exam is this Friday. Scenes chosen and fight partners selected. I’m watching the advanced group learn the very last few moves of the unarmed & knife routine.  Really great bunch of actors.  And they are currently climbing over tables, hitting each other with chairs and knifing, punching and kicking the heck out of each other.

Here is a snippet from Terrific Combat, compiled by Tony Wolf, which gives you an idea of the intensity and martial prowess Kean brought onstage with him.
