Priscilla... Queen of the Amazons

I have a stage combat class here and this semester we worked the whole first part on broadswords. I had fun with this section, I have to say that I do enjoy rapiers much more but this was fun.. Here are some pictures from my scene with Clara from the fantastic play "King Lear"
This is about halfway thru the fight.. I get the upper hand


Swinging these suckers is not easy!
Ha! center cut to the head!


A last desperate attempt to stay alive


Thou hast slain me! O, untimely death.

Wow! Chicks with swords! Very progressive! I'm using a sword of sorts in my art---standup comedy. My words are my swords. (Yeah, I guess that was a little far-fetched, too!)

Nice coming across your blog!
