Shakespearean Theater
B.H. Barry, a renowned fight director with over 60 years of experience, has been responsible for the staged stunt fighting in dozens of shows for the Royal Shakespeare Theater, over 40 Broadway shows, opera, film and ballet. In his talk, Barry explained his approach to choreographing a staged fight, which involves first reading the script, understanding the playwright's intent, and then working with the actors to create a choreographed fight that aligns with their characters. Barry emphasized that a fight director must create the illusion of violence while ensuring the actors' safety.
