Firen Williams

(she/they)

Fight Director - Teacher - Co-owner of The Pen & Sword, LLC - thepenandsword.combat@gmail.com 

Firen is an Advanced Actor Combatant in the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD) who has extensive experience choreographing, teaching, training, and performing Stage Combat. She is based out of the Pacific Northwest in Washington State and co-owns her own Stage Combat company, The Pen & Sword, LLC, which helps her work all across the region. You can expect her to bring passion, enthusiasm, and dedication to the rehearsal setting or classroom. She is also the Co-Coordinator for Raid on the River, a stage combat workshop in Eastern Washington designed to give participants 10 SAFD Training hours and masterclasses in three separate martial arts styles. For her, the future of stage combat is in the cross-training of Stage Combat and Martial Arts!

Outside of the theatre, she loves to write plays, short stories, novels, and poetry. She also enjoys sewing, book binding, and painting. You can often find her on the mats practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or working out at Legacy Jiu Jitsu Academy, but when summer is in full swing, she’s wake surfing on the Columbia River or hiking throughout the Cascade Mountains. Ask her about DnD or History if you want to see the true nerd emerge!
