INFO
What IS the Intensive? -
Our thesis statement is
WRESTLING = THEATRE
This intensive will look at the over the top, absurd, and often misunderstood world of professional wrestling through the eyes of the actor combatant.
Flying V & Renaissance Rumble are coming together as a group of actor combatants and professional wrestlers dedicated to creating spectacular pro wrestling shows for the stage and festival circuit.
All training will take place in Flying V's real 16' pro wrestling ring, so you will learn the true experience of the pros.
The instructors, Grizzly Joe Grasso and Mike Martin, have been training performers for the stage, screen, and ring for over 20 years and wrestle up and down the east coast as The Grimy Scots.
We will begin with proper cardio for ring stamina, running the ropes, and basic bumping (falls on the mat) then move on to learning safe technique for slams and chain wrestling. Of course, learning the techniques is only the beginning for creating theatrical violence. We will focus on safe wrestling almost equally with proper character development, working a crowd, and pre-match interview skills. The workshop concludes with a recorded, choreographed match where you will let your inner Hogan and Macho Man shine in a wrestling showcase!
All skill levels are welcome but bear in mind this training is extremely physically demanding. It will hurt. You will be sore.
So if you want to expand your stage combat skills, work on your elbow drop, or maybe you just want a trial run at your dreams of winning the World Heavyweight Championship in the squared circle at Madison Square Garden, tag in and have a blast in Silver Spring!
