...but I also like headbutts, reverse headbutts, a kick to the groin and a swordhilt to the face. To qualify this I need to add I like administering, rather than receiving them.
The Company loves a good fight scene, and there's something about a bit of mindless violence that brings out the best in an actor. I think it's the combination of concentration, exertion and sheer bloody terror that does it. That and the swords.
And learning fight scenes, especially with a whole bunch of people cramped together on a small stage, swords swinging and bodies flying, can be exhilarating as well as terrifying. When it works well it's like a well-oiled machine delivering spills and thrills for the audience.
I like it!
