Whether it’s a handshake, an embrace, or a kiss, nearly every play has a moment of intimacy. And just like dancing or fighting on stage, there are tools that can be used to navigate those moments with respect and care. Come learn theatrical intimacy best practices used in theater to create safer spaces and more exciting stories.

This three-hour workshop with Seattle-based Intimacy Director Ian Bond will focus on the foundations of consent culture within a theatrical context. Participants will learn boundary establishing techniques, create choreography with partners, and practice advocating for themselves in collaborative work. Physical contact is not required and participants may engage during the workshop at their own level of comfort.

Learning Outcomes: 

  • Know how to establish boundaries with a partner
  • Be able to create choreography with consent
  • Practice self-advocacy in rehearsal processes
