Podcast

The last MSCD Stage Combat Club meeting consisted of shooting for a lightsaber-themed short podcast to celebrate the upcoming summer class. I was going to wait to post this until I had lightsaber special effects, but why? :) ~Jenn

MSCD Stage Combat Club Spring is done!

Good semester, all! We in the Stage Combat Club had a great semester, how about you?
We made some great podcasts and began some other fun projects this semester.

The next two big movement arts events that I'd encourage all Stage Combat Club members (and everyone else) to attend the following:

THE 3220 final exam performance: May 16, 10am in ARTS 271 on campus.
Lightsabers Class: June 4 - July 30 on campus. Thursdays 12:30-2pm.

To conclude, here's the latest instructional podcast made by the MSCD Stage Combat Club of Auraria. Titled: flying and falling.

Podcasts

Look what happens when you do a Google Video search for "Stage Combat Colorado." Who do you think shows up top of the list? Yup, that's right, the MSCD Stage Combat Club podcast. And you only have to scroll down a little way to see the D&D Day one. Nice.

MSCD Stage Combat Club April

The next podcast the MSCD Stage Combat Club is concocting will be focused on jumps, falls, and rolls. We took a bunch of footage today for said podcast, and one clip in particular continues to make me chortle out loud. I'm not even sure why I find it hilarious, I just do. I hereby share this clip with you, lovely lurkers: I hope you get a laugh from it as I do. Oh, there is one barely-audible mild swear word which may be NSFW or little ones. ~Jenn

MSCD Stage Combat Club Podcast

Technical difficulties notwithstanding, we had a great time Saturday watching the podcast bits we've done so far. There are two podcasts finished, one nearly so, and one in the works. Our first podcast is up in YouTube, and it's our disclaimer. The second is actually unexpected--we had so much fun on D&D day that we made an extra podcast involving swords and dice. The third I post here--it's actually our first real instructional one. I had technical difficulties and so the first part of it is silent still, but it should be fun to watch anyway. Once I overcome the technical issues, you'll see all three of these on YouTube as well. Here 'tis: it's about pushing and pulling and head slamming. The next one will be about jumping, falling, and rolling. The above image of Nate is a preview. ~Jenn

Any Auraria campus student is welcome to join the club, and anyone at all is welcome to come celebrate our new public endeavor. And heck, if you show up, you might just be in the next podcast! Here are the details:
