Stage combatants are performers trained to simulate physical fights and violence in theater, film, and television. They use choreographed movements to create the illusion of conflict while ensuring the safety of all involved. This art form requires a deep understanding of timing, body mechanics, and the principles of stagecraft. These professionals often collaborate with directors and fight choreographers to design scenes that enhance the story. Stage combatants may also participate in workshops and training sessions to refine their skills in various styles, such as sword fighting, unarmed combat, or falls, ensuring they can convincingly portray action without causing harm.
