Mission Statement:
The New Jedi Order was formed March 27th, 2009, as a core group of performers that are intensely focused on stage combat and light saber choreography. We are comprised of members that have worked with the PA, NY, LA, LI, and NJ Jedi clubs in the past. The founders of this group envisioned creating a safe environment for passionate and dedicated members to learn the art of performing live with light sabers. To that end, we emphasize the conditioning and strengthening of bodies and minds in order to make the performance more engaging and exciting for the audience.
Our group uses the light saber as a vehicle to showcase our stage
combat skills. Although we do pull our inspiration for fights and characters mainly from the Star Wars universe, we are not limited by that in any way. The group’s members all strive to consistently improve in the art that we’ve chosen. Above all we are a community centered around the goal of becoming talented and dedicated stage performers.
What we do:
- Classes
- Volunteer/Charity Work
- Performing Live At Conventions
- Creating Characters/Acting
- Costuming/Saber Smithing
