Bio

Adriana Lemke

Adriana was part of the Actor Training Program at The University of Utah. After her time in school, she found stage combat and fell in love with this movement craft that is so empowering and just plain fun! She works as a fight director, stage combat teacher, and actor in Utah.


Adriana has been assisting, teaching, and choreographing for over three years. She has trained in stage combat with Dueling Arts International and The Society of American Fight Directors. Adriana had the opportunity to be assistant fight director to Chris DuVal in several productions, including Utah Shakespeare Festival’s 2015 season and Pioneer Theatre Company’s The Count of Monte Cristo and The Last Ship. As fight director, some of her favorites are Twelfth Night with Salt Lake Shakespeare, Hamlet with nextStage Theatre at Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival, Surely Goodness and Mercy with Salt Lake Acting Company, and Picnic with The Grand Theatre.

​

Adriana continues to expand her training in movement and stage combat. She hopes to continue to share knowledge of safe practices for stage combat and the empowerment that this movement art can bring through workshops and fight directing.
