Is The Force Strong In You?
We sure hope so, since we're organizing a wonderful workshop for all our Jedi wannabes out there!
Following the success of last year's choreographed sword fighting workshop, we've invited Artistic Fencing Master, Eugénio Roque, to be present at this year's event with a Jedi Fencing Workshop!
The workshop will take place on Saturday the 18th, during the whole day, and will be be aimed at the techniques applied to the creation and interpretation of science-fiction duels, more concretely in the Star Wars universe.
It will certainly be a work-intensive day, but the participants will have the chance of showing off their performances on Sunday, where the best interpretations will receive awards!
Master Jedi Eugénio Roque will also be giving a lecture on Artistic Fencing on Sunday, for those of you who prefer to stay on the sidelinesm watching (you're not alone, my friends!).
Eugénio Roque has choreographed more than fifty fighting scenes, both for theatre and cinema, and published the book "Fencing for Actores" in 2012. He's a member of the Commission for Artistic Fencing of the international Academy of Arms.
This workshop and lecture are organized by Clube Duelo under the direction of Master Eugénio Roque, who also funded the Portuguese Academy of Arms.
