Did you ever wonder how those elaborate broils in Shakespeare are managed? How does Prince Hal keep from really sticking Hotspur? This will be a lecture and demonstration in the specialized theatre technique of creating the illusion of physical combat without causing harm to the actors. Such fight choreography is critical to effectively staging many of Shakespeare’s plays with authenticity.
Our guide will be Genevieve Foster, Quartermaster and Instructor for UC Berkeley’s Historical Fencing Club studying Medieval and Renaissance combat.
Mission Valley Branch Library
The Mission Valley Branch Library is one of the thirty-five branches of the San Diego Public Library system. The 19,760 sq. ft. facility was opened July 20, 2002. The Library received an Orchid Award from the San Diego Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for "Best Institutional Design" and "Best Divine Details" for the lighted tree columns/sculptures throughout the facility. The Library includes a large community meeting room, seminar rooms, a children's library, an outdoor patio with a children's garden which has a flowing river sculpture, a computer lab and a mezzanine and terrace. Its excellent collection of books and media, central location, and close proximity to retailers and a trolley stop have made it a popular Library destination for many San Diegans.
