PA JEDI PARTNERS
We are a club teaching & learning how to perform choreographed lightsaber battles. The general goal is to create your own unique costumed character that would fit into the "Star Wars Universe," and perform intense, elaborate lightsaber duels to entertain audiences at conventions, community, and charity events.
We're a non-profit organization, which means we don't charge for classes, and we don't charge for performances. We do it purely to help raise awareness for charitable organizations, community support, fun & exercise, and to honor the greatest sci-fi film series of all time. It's completely safe. There is not free form fighting. It's scripted, rehearsed choreography, made to look like skilled and sometimes chaotic battle between good and evil.
Though some members of the club play characters who can range from questionably moral to downright evil, the club itself is all about teaching the Jedi way of peace, love, empathy, equality, and gaining wisdom & knowledge. This is why we call ourselves the Capital City Jedi Knights. We want to be the guardians of all that is good in central Pennsylvania, and inspire others across the world to do the same.
The darkside may have cookies, but we have love and family.
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.
