Affair of Honor began with Jackie and Nathania creating staged fights to perform for events and fundraisers throughout the city. Both certified actor combatants and board members with Fight Directors Canada, they have performed at Harvest Haus hosted by the Social Concierge and been invited to multiple fundraisers for independant performance companies. They have worked as Fight Directors for Caravan Farm Theatre, Urban Ink Productions, Shuswap Theatre, Studio 58, University of British Columbia, Capilano University, Instant Theatre, Geekenders, The Young People’s Opera Society and several independent films while also holding their own workshops and providing private coaching sessions.

 

They debuted their first theatre production of Qui Nugyen’s Soul Samurai, at the Vancouver Fringe Festival Dramatic Work Series in 2017 and a very successful remount at Studio 1398 in 2018.  The Soul Samurai Remount in 2018 was recognized by the theatre community and Affair of Honor recieved their first Jessie Richardson Theatre Award Nomination for  Significant Artistic Achievement for Outstanding fusion of kinetic dance and martial arts fight choreography within the small theatre category.

 

They developed and produced an improvised fight episodic inspired by Romeo and Juliet titled House of Arms in 2018. Heroine by Karen Bassett was the first show to tour, in Vancouver in July 2018 to the 2018 Edmonton International Fringe Festival.

They worked with writer Roselyn Kelada-Sedra on a new work in St. Catherines, ON with Suitcase In Point in 2022. As well, they were very excited to work alongside Jovanni Sy, producing, acting and designing fight choreography for his original script and Kung fu epic The Five Vengeances(T5V).   This production of T5V did its first technical dramaturgical workshop with Chimerik in November 2021 and was presented as the season opener at the Shadbolt Center for the Arts in September 2022.  At the same time they co-presented with Geekenders and Producer/Playwright Fairlith Harvey on her original work Kill The Ripper which premiered in Vancouver at the Rio and in North Vancouver at Presentation House Theatre.
