RC-Annie fight choreographers join The Deep Space

Ah, nothing like a spot of good news to get you over the midweek hump...

I am absolutely thrilled to announced that Lyndall Grant from fight co-ordinators RC-Annie is going to be helping us out with The Deep Space!

Without giving too much away, there are a couple of moments of physical drama in the play that I knew would require some outside expertise, and Lyndall has very kindly stepped in to help us out.

I first met the RC-Annie gang while training at Central, Rachel Bown-Williams and Lyndall Grant spent several weeks taking us through the basics of unarmed combat, rapier and dagger work before releasing us on the examination board. 

I had an absolute ball under their tutelage and managed to wangle myself a gold in  Stage Combat BADC  Level 1 with the help of my most marvellous scene partner Grant Leat - though goodness knows what Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant would have thought if they'd seen our interpretation of The Philadelphia Story...

If you want to find out more about RC-Annie and it's excellent work in film, TV and theatre go visit their website at www.rc-annie.com.

And, just because I can never resist a spot of Katherine Hepburn, here's a little bit of The Philadelphia Story for your viewing pleasure...
