One of the things I like the most about Jackie Chan is his imaginative use of ordinary household items in his fight and chase scenes. In this clip he talks about it and shows a few examples.
Post #200. Wow! I thought I was getting out of this business, but I guess the money’s just too good. (Yes, that was sarcasm.)
Here’s an interesting clip of Jackie Chan explaining how he enhances some of his less spectacular falls.
Jeff Raz’s performance credits range from Cirque du Soleil to Broadway, his teaching credentials from San Francisco’s Clown Conservatory and ACT to the Big Apple Circus and now all the way to China. His international experience is staggering, and he has already favored us with a guest blog post about Japanese Butoh. This time he has been so kind as to write about his travels as a pioneering clown teacher and director in China. For more, you can visit Jeff’s personal web site here. Thank you Jeff, and also to Calvin, Jonah, Christopher, and Linie for their contributions. —jt
