Parrot Punch is a company of three early career fight choreographers who have come together to make theatre, using fight choreography as the genesis of our devising process.
Jason is an Actor, Theatre Maker and Fight Choreographer. He trained as an actor at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama on the BA (Hons) Acting: Collaborative Devised Theatre course. He is a Certified BASSC Advanced Actor Combatant with Distinctions in all weapon systems. Outside of punching parrots, he is currently part of the stunt team on Season 3 of Ren: The Girl with the Mark.
Actor, Theatre maker and Fight Director. Martha trained on the BA (Hons) Acting course at Fourth Monkey. She is a Certified BASSC Advanced Actor Combatant and serves on the BASSC Executive Committee. Other than beating birds, Martha can be found choreographing fights for shows at Fourth Monkey, most recently: Henry VI Parts 1 and 3 in the classical season The Throne Trilogy.
Matthew is a Physical theatre and devising specialist. He also trained as an actor on the BA (Hons) Acting Collaborative Devised Theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. He is a Certified BASSC Actor-Combatant, with distinctions in multiple weapons. When he isn't slapping seagulls, he plays Scot in the current UK tour of David Walliams' Awful Auntie.
In 'Let's Not Fight About it' we interrogate our relationship with violence, in life and in entertainment. We ask: is it the violence itself that is upsetting? When do we give ourselves permission to laugh at it? And when is it really not funny anymore?
We are currently trying out work in progress material at various scratch nights. Stay tuned to see where we'll be next!
