What is stage/screen combat:

Stage/Screen combat is the sort of fighting you see on stage and screen, where we create the illusion of combat and conflict without anyone getting hurt! It’s origins go back to the ancient world, with the modern form starting in the Elizabethan era. Find out more here: www.swashbucklingcornwall.com/whatisstagecombat
