Stage combat courses and workshops by Le Masque et la Brette

We are an association dedicated to the promotion and practice of show fencing on the Ile de Ré. Our mission is to bring this exciting combination of sport and culture to a wide audience, from beginners to experts.

Join us for training courses and shows in a friendly, dynamic environment. Together, let's cultivate the art of fencing!

Collaborative work, where every action is designed to display violence while ensuring the safety of one's partner(s).
A complex discipline that combines physical mobility with theatrical performance. Precision, mastery and theatrical skill all come together to create the illusion of violence, suddenly giving the show a whole new dimension.

Our activities
For ages 15 and up

You don't need any fencing experience to practice stage combat. Even if it helps with the fundamentals of movement, going toe-to-toe with an opponent runs counter to the practice of stage combat with a partner.
This course is aimed at anyone wishing to combine theatrical or comedy practice with action techniques for choreography.

We offer a variety of activities for all ages and levels.
We do our utmost to ensure that everyone finds their place and progresses at their own pace.

Intensive courses: during school vacations to perfect your technique.
Special events: Training sessions lead to theatrical presentations or video clips!
