Im using this for my wedding. Instead of a first dance we’re doing a first duel

[@KingKomodoLiz]

That actualy sounds awesome, hope it went well

[@pencilRC1]

How did it go?

[@saintamy1]

Exactly the tutorial my family needed to liven up our quarantine!

[@katiegriffitts4311]

You have such a cool family

[@JudiChristopher]

EXCELLENT Video...
"Bravo Darlings... Bravo"
Thank you for sharing this video

[@yanagelfand4337]

Oh my god, thank you so much! All the other videos I found on the subject just said "be safe and don't hurt each other", but this is the first actual tutorial, I'm so grateful for this! I'm about to direct a play for the first time in my life and have no idea what to do with Coriolanus and Aufidius' fight (because changing it to something like a dance, for example, would be even harder).

[@FolgerLibrary]

Wooo! That's exciting. And Coriolanus and Aufidius is a big fight. Definitely stay safe, have a fight call, and congratulations!

[@mmeyarham4095]

Lovely! Thank you. Just the complexity and clarity I was looking for to help my drama 10s :D

[@WolfReader]

Perfect timing! My students are studying Romeo and Juliet during this quarantine. They need something to really liven it up!

[@WolfReader]

@em'ly, my students loved it so much, some of them made their own video 😆

Guy: But you can use anything around the house that's safe.
Me: *stares at selfie-stick*
