Ryan Gigliotti
Over the last decade, Ryan has performed stage fights with rapiers,
daggers, smallswords, broadswords, cutlasses, bullwhips, battle axes,
quarterstaves, his fists, other folk's fists, his feet, plungers, and a
Nerf crossbow. He began sword work at the Pennsylvania
Renaissance
Festival, where he had the pleasure of training and performing with
some of the top instructors in the Society of American Fight
Directors. With this solid background, he was soon working as
fight
captain and a choreographer at both the Festival and regional
theaters. In addition to many stage credits as an actor,
combatant,
stunt performer, and fight director, Ryan has taught stage combat to
actors of all ages through classes and workshops around the country.
Ryan can be seen performing at Pirates Dinner Adventure in Orlando, FL
as a rope-swinging, sword-fighting pirate; and at Renaissance Festivals
around the country as one half of To the Hilt,
another comedy
swordfighting show.
All of this can lead to only one conclusion: Ryan Gigliotti is a
professional sword-fighter, just like Van Damme is a professional
kick-boxer....
