BBQ Apocalypse-Cuckoo’s Theatre
Lana focuses on intention and the story a fight can tell to the audience. It’s more than throwing punches or performing perfect parries, it’s about the need and wants of the character in the moment and what they are willing to do to get it. With training from Fight Directors of Canada and Society of American Fight Directors she integrates vulnerable and emotionally charged and violence while keeping performers safe.

Spring Awakening- Three Brother’s Theatre
“ Where this performance really excels is the fight design by Lana Whittington. Fight choreography is difficult to sell to an audience, but the incorporation of a scrim and backlighting allows silhouetted violence to transcend into the imagination. Imaginative puppetry illustrated monsters Sir Gawain fought on his journey to the Green Chapel.”
“...knockout worthy of Mortal Kombat to an angry bigot, it’s humorous and cathartic all at once.”
Invictus Theatre's Othello
“Lana Whittington’s fight choreography brightens and clarifies the scenes that call for it.”
Sir Gawain and The Green Knight
“.....and Lana Whittington, who designed the show’s more physical interactions, also skillfully help denote the fact that this ensemble of characters are not experienced drag performers, but grown men indulging a friend’s grand birthday wish.”
