Freelance Stunt performers execute specific stunt scenes independently, often working on multiple projects. Stunt Coordinators plan, organize, and supervise stunt sequences, ensuring safety and coordination. While freelancers focus on performing, coordinators handle the overall stunt design and management, often hiring freelancers for execution.

What are some common challenges freelance stunt professionals face when managing their workload and safety on set?

Freelance stunt professionals often juggle multiple projects, which can involve tight deadlines and varying safety protocols across different sets. Maintaining clear communication with directors, coordinators, and other team members is crucial to ensure all stunts are executed safely and according to plan. Additionally, freelancers must be proactive about their own training, insurance, and equipment, as these may not be consistently provided. Being adaptable and meticulous about safety procedures are key to a successful freelance stunt career.

What is a freelance stunt performer?

A freelance stunt performer is a professional who is hired on a contract or project basis to perform physical stunts in films, television, commercials, or live events. Unlike full-time employees, freelance stunt performers work independently and often move from one project to another, depending on the needs of production companies. Their work involves executing choreographed sequences that can include fights, falls, car chases, and other physically demanding or dangerous actions. Safety is a top priority, and stunt performers must be highly trained and skilled in their craft. Many also have backgrounds in martial arts, gymnastics, or other athletic disciplines.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Freelance Stunt Performer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Freelance Stunt Performer, you need physical fitness, specialized stunt training, and often certifications in areas like fight choreography or driving. Familiarity with safety equipment, rigging systems, and industry-standard stunt coordination protocols is typically required. Exceptional risk assessment, teamwork, and communication skills help performers stand out and ensure safety on set. These skills and qualities are crucial to deliver convincing stunts while minimizing injury risks in a highly collaborative and hazardous environment.

     Successful Assistant Coaches may be promoted to Head Coach with increased pay and responsibilities.
Required drug screening:
 All school partners require a 90 day hair follicle drug test. This test detects substances from the previous 90 days to 6 months. This requirement is non negotiable and is required to maintain school partnerships.
Commitment expectations:
 TGA relies on coaches who honor their full season commitment. Backing out mid session is not permitted and violates agreements with schools and families. Any potential conflicts must be shared before hiring.
