Stage combat is a choreographed performance that simulates physical fighting for theater, film, and television. It involves carefully planned movements and techniques to create the illusion of real violence while ensuring the safety of the performers. Actors train in various styles, such as sword fighting, hand-to-hand combat, and falls, to convincingly portray conflict. The goal is to engage the audience without causing harm, using skills like timing, distance, and body control. Proper training and rehearsal are essential to achieve a believable and safe performance.
