My #WIP novel is a #Wuxia Chinese martial arts epic w/an arranged marriage, assassins, prophecies, imperial court intrigue, & action packed fight scenes!

I have taken #StageCombat lessons in broadsword & rapier, tourney lvl #Amtgard fighter (avoided the LARPing bits TBH), & lil #HEMA. #FightClubNov

Day 2!

Ok, so lets get started!

Give us the elevator-pitch verson of what you'll be working on in this game!

And do you have any IRL experience or inspiration in mind?

I've mostly been posting on Instagram these days so I forgot to share this here! Before my move, I got to film some fun sword choreo I created with my friend Adrien. ⚔️

Enjoy this video I edited of our practice footage. Music was also composed by me. 🎵

22 years ago, my first #stagecombat gig was a production of #WestSideStory. It went pretty well. There a moment during Tonight, where Tony and Maria turned to each so suddenly and with such wild enthusiasm, the director &I busted out laughing. Every time I see the show, I still laugh at that part.

⚔️🛡️Standard BADC
Spent the last week and a bit being trained by the amazing Russell Eccleston & Roxanne Applebee for the standard BADC exams.
It was a joy to pretend fight again.

Huge thanks to Apricity Theatre for organising! 🩵

Quaterstaff, here I come!

Back at it teaching stage combat at CCPA Roosevelt!
This term, I get a little extra dose of nostalgia by getting to teach in 710. Despite the weather, the view still rocks💖
