Fight director
Also called fight choreographer
A fight director choreographs staged violence and works with the actors to rehearse it so that it tells the story convincingly and nobody is hurt.
On stage they usually attend a limited number of rehearsals, after which the actors repeat the sequence safely at every performance.
