Direction

Dramatic violence often happens at an emotional apex, a turning point in the story. Even if it’s just one move, it has to be done right or the strength of the entire scene will be undermined.

A veteran fight director, stage combat instructor and founding member of Fight Directors Canada, FDC Fight Master Daniel Levinson has been creating and performing dramatic violence for over twenty years. His tremendous range of experience includes TV, film, and every type of theatre from unmounted, one-performer shows to major Stratford, Mirvish and Broadway productions. Daniel’s fight direction work is supported by a host of invaluable skills: he is a trained actor who understands the performer’s challenges, a master teacher who instructs at all levels in a wide range of armed and unarmed forms, and a writer/director/producer with long experience in collaborative storytelling. He understands that your job is challenging, and he wants what you want: the best possible show with the fewest possible problems.
