Intimacy for the Stage is geared towards artists who are interested in developing a consent-based approach in their own practice. Through movement-based exercises, this workshop focuses on communication, safety, and consent during the rehearsal process. Participants will explore open communication and how to advocate for themselves and fellow artists in a respectful way, creating opportunities for the work to become more dynamic and specific. With an emphasis on clear physical storytelling, different types of relationships will be explored including intimacy outside of a romantic or sexual context. Artists will develop an understanding of how to navigate scenes of intimacy with or without an intimacy director present through script analysis, scene work, and creation-based work.
