Testing in sword and shield, single sword, small sword, and knife today with the SAFD.

What a wild ride this workshop has been. One more chance to fight with this wonderful group of people!

There is nothing, NOTHING, like a day fighting with swords

The past couple months have found us surrounded by cicadas. While cool at first, their sound quickly became infuriating.

One night, I felt inspired so I made this film. It's no masterpiece, but I hope you enjoy!

After a six day unarmed combat intensive I am happy to say that I have passed with recommendation with the Society of American Fight Directors.

Next step will be the National Stage Combat Workshop in Louisiana this summer!

Really enjoyed working on this sci-fi film, Amici Novum, directed by Alex Kopnick.

I play a spaceman, which means you never see my face!

With my final production at IU done it’s time to finish off the rest of my MFA requirements: Reading List & Thesis Document

And just to be clear this isn’t a critique of anything, just a comment on how different virtual theatre is and how many more distractions there are

[Christopher Plonka @ChrisPlonka]

In person theatre: Stay off your phone, don’t allow distractions while you’re performing.

Virtual Theatre: Please, please, please keep your phones near you so we can communicate.

Well, opening night happened. The beauty of streaming theatre is that the audio can just disappear randomly with no warning, resulting in a twenty minute technical difficulties break 🤷🏻‍♂️
