Eric Gaden (Fight Choreographer)

This past fall I was the fight director for La Fanciulla del West with the Virginia Opera Company. I also designed the makeup and special effects for Alliance Repertory Company’s production of Gruesome Playground Injuries. Recently, I taught stage combat and SFX makeup workshops for the Warren County Teen Arts festival, stage combat intensive with the Performing Arts Workshops for Secondary Schools through SUNY Purchase, and and have been continuing my work on Client Roleplay Scenarios with the Centenary University Social Work program.

This summer I will be offering a six week stage combat class for beginners in association with interACT Productions. I recently became a member of the Society of American Fight Directors and will be taking certification class in May.
