Ever wondered how those sword fights happen on stage? Jean Kerr and Paul Dennhart, theatre artists, will give us a special backstage look at all the secrets of fight choreography and stage movement. They will show us how actors learn to move, jump, fall, and careen across the stage without getting hurt, as well as demonstrate some weapon technique. Jean is well known to our Library as she has served for two years as director of Arts Discovery Camp Theatre Week. She and her husband, Paul, teach at Illinois Wesleyan University.
