ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
When push comes to shove, how do actors keep each other safe while they fight on stage or film? Explore some of the most common unarmed techniques (shoves, slaps, punches, and drags) and discover how to use them to tell safe and effective stories! No prior martial arts, theater, or stage combat experience needed.
This workshop is an experience to enhance the upcoming Seattle Children’s Theater (SCT) production of “Young Dragon: A Bruce Lee Story.”
Participants and family members attending the workshop will receive tickets to watch "Young Dragon," which is on view from February 19-March 15, 2026. Click on this link to learn more about the production.
At least one parent/guardian is required to stay at the workshop with each participant. While a few more family members of the participant can come to watch, we kindly ask for a limit of 3 family members per participant coming in due to space constraints.
