"The actor learns not just one, but several disciplines and techniques to further their craft. Many actors dance and sing. Some actors become proficient in make-up, or improvisation. Interest and skill in these secondary schools of practice serve to increase and enrich the various instruments the actor stock in his/her toolbox. Actors may excel and /or specialize in these techniques. Stage Combat is the art of performing acts of violence for a theatrical medium. What is drama? Conflict. A fight is the ultimate expression of conflict. Therefore, actors who fight in a scene are employing multiple techniques simultaneously. It's my job to train the acting student to fight on stage (or screen) convincingly, confidently and safely." Mr. Roth began fencing at age 16 in Dallas and has competed in foil and sabre.
