Thanks for the great read: it's vitally necessary that everyone in the biz get serious about respecting fight choreography. It is not something to "figure out" on the spot or play around with until something clicks: it is a part of the process that should be respected and integrated. It kills me that people will hire a dance choreographer at the drop of a hat but not a fight choreographer, to the detriment of actor safety and the artistic quality of the show.
