Note:
There is no orientation speech in week 1, we start right away. Please bring (or buy at the studio) the corresponding prop to every class with you; in special circumstances, you can use makeshift alternatives to the real prop, i.e. a book instead of a sword, a stick instead of a cane, a pair of plastic water cups instead of candles.
For more expensive props (i.e. swords, wings), we will offer a heavily discounted advanced group-purchase rate - when we buy in bulk, we can get the items cheaper, and we pass the savings on to you. The orders must be placed typically one week in advance of the first class, please see the newsletter announcing the class for details.
