The Scarlet Pimpernel – Day 2 of Fight Club

Day 2 of Fight Club: Slightly less in numbers we arrived a fortnight later to see Raph smiling at the door. This time we meant business starting to put together the first par tof the main duel. So there was me (Percy) Chauvelin our resepctive understudies….oh and Marguerite (Toni Feetenby) made an appearance….women with swords…WHAT I hear you cry. I say in jest only, ‘cos as it turns out even after warm up Toni was looking slightly more on the ball than us men…what can I say it was Sunday morning. We reminded ourselves of previous moves we had learnt (muscle memory kicked in) and added in at least a further five or six moves totalling over ten. The secret to the fight being combination and dramatisation. The day ended with phases one to eight of the duel completed….brilliant…although unfortunately only a third maybe less of the overall scene. Marguerite has her own phase down as a print and will help complete the fight in our next session. It sounds so simple, but we have 20 run throughs to do before Raph sees us next to gain accuracy and consistency and finish the job. Will we make it, will we remember it all……will my arm fall off and all my unused muscles cease functioning????!!!!! find out soon in Day 3 of Fight Club.
