STAGE TUBE: Sneak Peak at Jeff Lynch's Combat Routines for BEOWULF
This is Jeff Lynch performing a demonstration of the combat in his upcoming adaptation of "Beowulf" May 31-June 10 at Studio BE in Chicago, IL. He also talks about his interpretation of the legend.
Arcas Productions presents their new action theatre adaptation of BEOWULF, the classic epic poem. May 31 through June 10 at Studio BE (3110 N. Sheffield Ave.). Performances are Thursdays through Sundays at 7:30 p.m.
BEOWULF blurs the lines between poetry and movement, dance and combat, man and monster to tell this classic story as never before. Director Jeff Lynch is developing a dynamic new stage combat approach, drawing influence from video games and comics, in BEOWULF. The ensemble cast will bring the poem to life on stage using a verse translation to compliment continuous movement.
Lynch says, “The poetry is the score for the movement. It's like choreographing to live accompaniment."
Tickets start at $20 and can be purchased online at http://www.studio-be.org.
