Teaching of combat and violence for stage and fight direction, based upon the teachings of John Waller, which have been used for over 40 years. This approach has been used by a number of fight teachers and directors. It is currently actively being taught by Jonathan Waller, Kristina Soeborg, Rodney Cottier, Jonathan Mitchell as well as many others, in the UK, and across the world from Italy to Mexico...

Four nights in Knaresborough

My recent work on the production of Four nights in Knaresborough at the Southwark playhouse.
You can read the full review at http://www.fringereview.co.uk/fringeReview/4100.html

It's a generally very positive review of the production and makes a good mention of the violence,

" A blow to the head causes him to lose the use of his legs for a good chunk of the play and his final monologue is crazed and has me in tears as his emotional turmoil becomes increasingly violent. His believable attack on Brito is so realistic it is difficult to watch. Fight director Jonathan Waller has delivered great direction of some impressive and often hard to watch fight sequences."


The production runs at the Southwark Playhouse until the 13th August.
