FIGHT CHOREO
With experience in judo, jujutsu, capoeira, aikido, kung fu, and tai chi, Lukas completed the Foundation Degree of Stage Combat at the East15 Acting School in London with top marks at the age of 17.
During his BA in acting at the HMDK Stuttgart, he continued to be interested in stage fighting and fencing and quickly was given the opportunity to assist his stage combat instructor Annette Bauer.
During his first engagement at Staatstheater Meiningen, he assisted the renowned fight choreographer Klaus Figge and choreographed his first fights, duels, and stage falls himself. He also supported civil courage projects with staged fights in public areas, which teach passers-by the “correct” behavior in an emergency through confrontation.
After his engagement at Staatstheater Wiesbaden, he has been a freelance actor, speaker, singer, and fight choreographer in film, television, and theater since 2016. He is a member of the BIK (Association of Independent Fight Choreographers) since 2021 and teaches stage combat foundations and acrobatics for children, young people, and adults at schools.
The last choreographies were “Robin Hood” for the Ribbeck Castle Festival and “Cyrano de Bergerac” for the summer comedy Erfurt.
Under the guidance of actor Lukas Benjamin Engel, take a look behind the scenes of action films, theatre, and martial arts, learn your individual stunts, and perform violence without anyone getting hurt.
