#13 Hold the Beer: Allen Johnson Violence Design Lab Podcast

    • Performing Arts

Today on the show, we're talking about things that theatre people wish HEMA practitioners knew about stage combat and things HEMA folks wish stage combatants understood about historical fighting. Notice I say "we" are talking about this, because I'm joined today by Allen Johnson, HEMA-ist, violence designer, stunt performer and produced screenwriter, who lends his unique perspective to the conversation.

We also talk about the time and place for the Hollywood style, how historical techniques may have to change to look right on camera, and more!
