What do we do?
Boston Lightsaber Stage Combat Club is... wait for it... a Boston-based lightsaber stage combat club. We are looking to get Star Wars fans together to create and practice with lightsaber props to create visually engaging stage combat for audiences, whether that's 3 people in a hallway, a stage in front of a room full of people, or an outing on Boston Common.
Practices
We start with drills to practice fundamentals. Nothing like constant repetition to build a good foundation!
From there, we split into small groups. In the early weeks of a rehearsal schedule, we're working on developing new choreography - either coming up with a brand new sequence, or extending an older sequence with more material.
In the later weeks, we are focusing on mastery: not just merely memorizing the choreography, but learning it cold. Being able to move fluidly with your partner takes a lot of practice! This is where the earlier drills on fundamentals really pays off.
The last 1-2 weeks are dedicated to show run-throughs.
What about Cosplay or RP?
We are not a cosplay group, although some of our members do SW cosplay. Likewise, we are not a roleplaying group, although some of our members do SW RP.
We are not affiliated with Lucasfilm in any way, although we are encouraging our members to create a costume and apply for membership in one of the Lucasfilm-recognized groups: the 501st Legion (as a specific Sith Lord), the Rebel Legion (both specific and generic Jedi), or The Dark Empire (as a generic Sith).
Workshops
We have Beginners' Nights before we start a new rehearsal schedule. For details on when those will be scheduled, please follow our Facebook page. These workshops are typically on a Thursday night in Cambridge, from 7-8:30pm, and are free.
In addition, for the past few years, we've run a workshop at the Arisia Science Fiction & Fantasy Convention where we teach the basics of what we do, with an emphasis on going slowly and being safe.
