Mr. Wolfe's Resume (PDF)

As the founding member of the School of Stage Combat, Erick Wolfe has been training professional actors and performers for over 10 years, and has worked with top rated performers and directors from all around the world. His fight credits include Opera, Ballet, Theatre, Commercials, Television, and Film. Erick Wolfe is a member of the British Association of Dramatic Combat, and the Association of Theatrical Movement Educators. He is resident fight director with Tulsa Opera, and teaches the stage combat course at Opera in the Ozarks.

After returning to Oklahoma City from the Savannah School of Art and Design, Erick Wolfe was invited to attend a medieval wedding. It was from that moment on that his addiction of stage combat and performance was born. After a season with a local performance troupe, Erick went in search of a safe stage combat instructor, and found Maitre D’Armes Jerry Benson. After studying for 2 years and becoming an assistant instructor of Staged Combat at Redlands Academy, Erick traveled around studying from any instructor who would help in his pursuit to learn all he could, and learn as many methods of teaching, performing, and movement as possible. Erick has had the opportunity to work with such great international instructors as Lloyd Caldwell, Tony Wolf, Kevin McCurdy, and Rachel Bown-Williams. Erick has also worked with American instructors such as Bill Lengfelder, Paul Steger, Michael Chin, David Woolley, Scot J. Mann, Mark “Rat” Guinn, Al Foote III, Don Preston, Christian Tobler, and many more.  After settling down in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Erick opened the School of Stage Combat.

With a goal to create safe, exciting, and dramatic staged violence, on a highly entertaining level, Mr. Wolfe blends together stage movement, pantomime, Eastern and Western martial arts, with stage combat.

Porgy & Bess Review

"Erick Wolfe staged Tulsa Opera's two fight scenes quite well -- the battle between Crown and Robbins unfolded with vicious speed, and Matthews' ability to move about by using only his hands during the Crown-Porgy fight was quite remarkable."-- James D. Watts JR. Tulsa World
