DIRECTION

FIGHT AND MOVEMENT

Often brought into projects that have long sections of heightened physical action, 
including violence, intimacy (see Intimacy Page), period style work and physical characterization, Alexis Black directs these scenes with an emphasis on physical storytelling and responsible partnering, fitting the scene seamlessly into the production as a whole.

"With a set by Sarah Pearline that looks very much like the original Globe Theatre, and beautifully ornate costumes in layers of leather, lace, and velvet by T. Stacy Hicks, as well as exciting fight scenes with choreography from Alexis Black, it hits many of the right period notes..."

"Truly every technical aspect of this production--among them, the gorgeously crafted sets, Isabella Byrd and Hared Mezzochi's ingeniously clever lighting and projection design, and the complexity of the flying and fighting choreography (Katie Spelman, Paul Rubin and David Leong [Assistant Alexis Black]) -- is top notch and on par with any Broadway performance."
