Hi, I'm Shauna Duggins, and this is notes on the scene.

Adverbs of manner

I've been a stuntwoman for 18 years ish and then I've been coordinating for probably about 10 of those years.

Participle clauses

I've been a gymnast my whole life, so performing, flipping anything with your body.

That's just kind of been what I've been doing since I was six.

I went into a gym that had open gym, and there were are all these stunt guys and, ah, couple stunt women and it was like, This is an actual career.

Charlie's Angels will always be so dear to my heart.

I think my favorite stunt, I would say, would probably be the helicopter work other than being in Hawaii and taking a helicopter tour.

It was the first time I had really worked with a helicopter, and luckily it was with Craig Hoskins as a pilot whose amazing 20 years old and I am being told.

Hey, just hang from the skid dropped down from your knees.

Catch Lucy's character and your safety off by this.

And then I think another one I'm really proud of would be.

It's not a school of a gag, but it was a big stair fall with Cameron and the bad girl.

And it's because it's the first stair fall I had ever done.

And they said, the only advice I can give you for a stair fall is just goes aggressive and hard as you can.

They're going to jump off the platform, hit the top and then they're gonna fall together down the stairs.

We dive through the doors, hit the thing and go down the stairs.

It was the first I would say that wasn't a fight or gymnastics.

It was the first stunt Somebody said, Be aggressive and go for it.

Coordinating is a combination of the physical and the mental.

You get to sit down with the director and with the creators, and you say, What's the vision you're trying to create with this?

And then you come back and you figure out how to bring that fresh into bring it to life or you add to it and make suggestions and collaborate with everybody and find the best product.

Glow is a really unique experience in the creative process because from the very beginning, Liz and Carly have said, we really want our actresses to be able to wrestle.

They hired one rest or Kia Stevens, and she is a rock star in the wrestling world.

All of our other actresses are actresses, musicians, comedians, and they are amazing in their own right at what they do.

And so now they're coming in and they're completely out of their world to start with.

And we're asking them to look like professionals in a month.

And when someone struggles with something, you have to off 13 14 girls lifting her up, and then when someone gets something they've been working on, their also excited for each other, and it's really, really empowering.

When I started glow, I didn't have a ton of experience with wrestling, so when I took my first meeting, I just said, I think the best way to help us and teach these women, it's as quickly as we can is to bring somebody from the wrestling world and will team together.

They'll know the the nuances of the wrestling world, and that's been Chavo Guerrero, Jr.

And so then we collaborate together and we'll talk about stuff.

So between the two were teaching stunt world and wrestling, and it made me respect and appreciate them even so much more.

There's a lot of trial and airing and and laughter in there, to say the least when we're playing around trying two.

Bell is high, and she is wrestling with Zoya and she ends up breaking her ankle.

So you knew that it was the same match that they had trained, but that you saw the difference in Liberty Bell.

If you see the training sequence, you see her more together.

She does the moves, but she's working with her, and in this, when you start to see everything is a little bit crazy and in the moves instead of it being together working with Allie here.

They're not really working together anymore.

She's off on her own path, so we wanted all the moves to have a similar feel, but just enough on Ed.

So now she grabs her here, which she's supposed to do in the Cory.

She starts to kind of control her more than working with her partner.

So normally wouldn't she brings her into the soup?

She's gonna have a hand on her front hip and lift her, and she's gonna also help and drive it over.

But if you'll see in this, she doesn't check in with her at all.

As soon as she grabs her jerks around, she throws her.

So that's kind of another thing with the character of switching it to where she's just taking control.

Here you can see this hand on Betty is where she's assisting and pushing.

This arm is also around her neck, so she's pushing her over, and Allie here is also taking some of it in herself, like she's doing a flip to her back.

So show go whoop and land on her back, and she has to drop straight down and land on her back.

If she pushes too soon or her leg is late, you have an off kilter.

At risk is her neck is the one coming over, and the job of Basheer over here is he's trying to always be in the mix without being in the way he'll step over here and then he'll see her lift.

And if he's here, he's gonna get landed on and risks alleys, head and neck.

Okay, you've got to come back over here, out of the way.

And now, usually the other tricky part is you have camera in the ring with him.

The camera's over here and it's on a steady camera in the ring.

So you have a camera operator who's moving around and you have best year who's moving around, and now you have two actresses who are performing and flipping and trying to be aware of where everybody else's But you can see how much this takes together.

And no matter what, she's still gonna land on our backs.

No matter how padded this is, it doesn't feel good.

And it's not a soft pad because you can't hide it.

It's two inches of Haydn's foam, and every wrestler comes in and goes, Oh my God, this is the best resting ring we've ever been in.

This is amazing, but it's still it's hard.

You train in, rehearse and rehearse and rehearse it.

But at the same time it is two actresses doing this, which is pretty incredible.

She's supposed to throw her leg, but she's not supposed to just start to take control.

So she's got her in a lock here and now she is grabbing a hold.

This isn't This is a correct lock where she actually has her knee joint and she can take control and pivot Her becomes a pivot point and she's gonna pivot her underneath, and Allie starts it and gives a good push at the beginning to help, but again, her head has to clear underneath and get in between her.

So Ali has to help and clear herself to get her through alleys coming underneath and you see her head clearing and now she's spotting it.

She's got her hands ready to land and then Betty Iss stepping over her.

But you also you know, I don't want to step on her fingers.

So there's a lot going on between each other's legs and head.

She's supposed to put her eight goal in a lock and twist it to appear that she's hurting her, but she doesn't check in to make sure that they're okay.
