The fine print:

- A non-refundable registration processing fee of $31 and $100 deposit to secure your place in the workshop is due by the application deadline of October 3, 2008.
- The balance of payment of your account is due by November 29, 2008. The Banff Centre reserves the right to cancel your place if full payment has not been received by this date. The deposit will be forfeited if you cancel before November 29. The program fee will be forfeited if you cancel after November 29.
- The full meal plan allows for the purchase of three full meals per day. This meal plan gives participants the flexibility to select meals according to their own needs or schedules at the Vistas Dining room, the Kiln Cafe and the Gooseberry Deli.

The theme of this year's workshop will be a celebration of the history and development of
Swordplay and Unarmed fighting styles.

The workshop will explore classes in historical fighting techniques and styles, stage and film
combat techniques and process, contemporary martial arts and movement theory.

There will be a focus on how these disciplines have been taught and passed on from teacher
to student throughout history. This forum will explore the movement art forms of the part and present and establish a living library to preserve the international body of research that is found in the study of the
Art of Stage Combat.

There will be classes for every level of participant, from novice to the highly advanced.
Classes will be suitable for:
Fight Directors
Choreographers
Actors (stage & screen)
Historical Fencers
Teachers
Martial Artists
Modern Fencers
Scholars & Historians

Personal Note: Banff has always been my favourite workshop. Everyone shares what they do best and the level of talent is inspiring. The venue is inspirational and the friendships last forever!
