Stunt Work
Nova trampoline club offers in-depth training and preparation for stunt men and stunt women. We can offer individualized, small group and session training leading up to elementary gold and beyond. We usually have at least one stunt person regularly training with us, and many of our members and ex members are in regular employment! The regulations have recently been revised - speak to a club offical for the latest details.
General
All Equity registered stunt
performers are professionals NO-ONE SHOULD EVER attempt stunts without
professional instruction.
Many people enter this line of work with at least one skill of a high
standard such as trampolining, diving, gymnastics, riding, martial
arts, motor cycling etc, but this does usually mean high!
Applicants first apply to join EQUITY. They then spend a couple of
years learning the skills required by EQUITY. Once you have joined
Equity there are 8 athletic qualifications to be gained. This normally
takes 2 or more years to complete before you can apply to join the stunt
register within Equity. Training requires determination and hard
work.
Once they do become qualified it is like passing a driving test - it is only then that they begin to learn the skills, craft and trade of being a stunt man or women.
