Syllabus
Day 1
-
Part 1 - In this workshop we will cover the basics of consent and your body. Participants will learn communication tools for setting clear boundaries and expectations, explore language they can use to make a more consent based and embodied process, and participate in exercises to begin to somatically integrate consent.
-
Part 2 - In this workshop we will cover consent and someone else's body. Participants will learn tools to navigate consent with a partner or in a group. We will explore language that is not exclusive to gender or sexual preference, discuss and explore navigating boundaries and expectations through ongoing consent, and participate in exercises intended to let participants learn to use their language in the context of scenes with hyper-exposure.
Day 2
-
In this workshop we will cover choreographing hyper exposed scenes with sexual and intimate content. Participants will learn to apply the language and consent skills they learned on day one to staging sex. This portion of the workshop will ask participants to participate in creating sexual and/or intimate shapes with their bodies in relation to other participants' bodies in the context of an intimate scene. This is all on a voluntary and consensual basis and please note participants are encouraged to participate to their confidence level. Participants will play the role of actor and choreographer in these scenes and experience an introduction to staging sex. In this work, we will set containers of touch before we work, no actual kissing or level of undress will be performed.
