Swashbuckling 101: Ithaca Stunt Group Studies Stage Fighting

November 5, 2007 - 12:00am
By Eve Waters

This past Saturday, Maestro Christopher Barbeau came to Cornell for the fifth time to host a workshop on theatrical combat for the local Ithaca chapter of The Ring of Steel.

The Ring of Steel: Ithaca is a theatrical stunt group that focuses on performing and teaching the “art of stage violence” to the Ithaca communities. Members are taught how to properly handle rapiers, daggers, the broadsword, the quarterstaff and hand-to-hand combat techniques, developing combative techniques so that group members can perform stunts safely and effectively.
