THDA 554, Stage Combat
When there is violence onstage, it is choreographed by a fight director. Learning stage combat makes an actor more marketable. In Theatre and Dance’s Stage Combat course, students learn hand-to-hand combat. Their second assignment required they pick a written scene that could justify violence. This year features choreographed sword fights and original choreography of armed combat fights!

THDA 554, Stage Combat
When there is violence onstage, it is choreographed by a fight director. Learning stage combat makes an actor more marketable. In Theatre and Dance’s Stage Combat course, students learn hand-to-hand combat. Their second assignment required they pick a written scene that could justify violence. Working with a partner, each group created original choreography that included hand-to-hand techniques they had been learning. Students concentrated on using found objects (items that would likely be found in their setting that can serve as weapons of convenience to help defend oneself).

THDA 563 & 663, Dance Apart Together
Dance is a universal language. Students from all over campus, across all colleges, can take dance at UNH.
These students are dance/theatre majors, future engineers, writers, scientists, nurses...But when we come together in the studio, it is magic. For just a moment, we are given the opportunity to share the same energy in a space we call home.
