Some lovely pictures from our dancer in residence last week.
Our first guest to sleep in the Shepherds Hut for her whole time, smelling the cedar wood and hearing the birds in the morning.

We will not be scared.
In our hearts we will always have the laughter that we share"

BADC STANDARD LEVEL at @cragpitstudios ⚔️❤️🔥👊
Last week saw the successful completion of the second @badc_uk residential course at Crag Pit Studios!
Participants shared a week living, eating and training together, working intensively on rapier and unarmed dramatic combat… along with chill out time and some trips to the seaside 🏡🌊
Enthusiastic and committed students gathered from across the UK and Europe, bringing a gorgeous multitude of practices into the mix: screen performance, physical theatre, historical reenactment and musical theatre 🌍🎭
Huge thanks to @rosannamallinson for creating the incredible training space, and for being such a welcoming host. Massive kudos to @katesketchley for being an awesome teaching assistant, and all of the appreciation to @combatclairefights for running the performance exam and workshop 🙌🙏
My heart is full of gratitude for these best of times shared with the best of humans.
Onwards to more courses (and inevitable victory)!
