"With its emphasis on various forms of movement and actor training, this stage combat workshop went where workshops seldom go." -The Fight Master, Fall/Winter 2006 "Fights of Spring reinforced the idea that stage combat is a means to achieve an end; it helps train actors in specificity, discipline, repeatable action, raising stakes, committing to action, good partnering, and experiencing scenes moment by moment." - Tiza Garland, SAFD Certified Teacher "Fights of Spring gave me tools for working with characters" - Participant in Fights of Spring 2007
