The duties of the fight
director include working with the actors to create safe
fights which serve the production well.
He/ she should be available for production meetings
and be present when the production moves into the performance
space to make suitable alterations.
The fight director should discuss possible lighting,
set, direction, costume and stage management problems
with the appropriate departments.
The fight director should provide stage management and
the actors with a written notation of the fight to be
used when he/ she is not present. If it is a long tour,
the fight director may also wish to catch up with the
fights, at some point during the run, and re-rehearse
sections which are untidy.
