Broadsword kudos
I got to be part of Kyle, Casey and Ian’s broadsword vs. quarterstaff fight sequence. I was lucky I got to play the boardsword guy and fight the other two off… It was a pretty fun sequence and we got rocking through to the end of the class. We got asked if we could perform it on Saturday for the group because we were the tightest group, but sadly Laura (one of the quarterstaffers) had to fly home on Saturday so we had to pass on the honour. That was cool… I remember the first time I went to Banff in 1998 I was a little disappointed when I didn’t get picked to be on stage (but then again, I was just a beginner at the time). Moved on a chain workshop with Kyle (from Sydney Stage Combat) and Tony (doing Bartitsu) — that was fun and interesting but the woman I was fighting didn’t speak English very well and kept wanting me to rush through it which made it difficult for us to work together. Kyle and Tony made it look slick and seamless however.
