Want to become certified in fight choreography??

This is an AMAZING opportunity. 

Hello All!

I am emailing about a hugely exciting opportunity for our program in Dramatic Arts at City College-- we are one of three institutions (and the only college!) accepted for the first year of the Society of American Fight Director's Educate, Expand and Empower Initiative. If you want more info on the program, you can look here: https://safd.org/

This means that we will have a trained fight master (Dave Gonzalez, who works with professional theatres in Chicago) and two assistants coming to our campus to train 14 students in unarmed combat for the stage. This program will end with the opportunity to certify in unarmed combat through SAFD for FREE. This is really a great opportunity-- usually this certification is very expensive, requiring travel to workshops, training and certification fees. This is something that will also look very good on future acting resumes, as well as offering a start in a really interesting/marketable theatre field.

The program will run June 6th-10th at City College, from 9:00 am-4:00 pm. You must be available for the full training (no exceptions!), since you will need to fulfill a full 30 hours to be able to certify. You will also need to be vaccinated and boosted (if eligible), and wear a mask the full time, as well as take a PCR test prior to the first workshop day.

If you would like to participate, please fill out the application here: https://forms.gle/QZ4Xq4rhHtMHf9HM9

We anticipate a high demand for the limited number of spots, and will be making choices based on your status as a major in our program, how close you are to transferring, and your written responses to the application questions-- if you are not a major and are still interested, please do fill out the form, as there may be room! If you know of someone who should have received this email and didn't for some reason, please feel free to forward it.

Thank you all! Please reach out to me with any questions at all.

Best,

Kate
