Elements of Theater Workshop Review

  • Important Takeaways from Onstage Intimacy

    • Desexualized language in the rehearsal room

      • Using objective & non gendered language to identify movement

    • New vocabulary is super helpful

    • Boundary practices - emotional boundaries

      • A cast member’s emotional boundary may align with that of a character, but if they are not using safe and comfortable ways to access that, then that character may not be the best choice for them

        • Moving away from pulling from personal trauma for a role 

    • When directors pitch, they need to have a clear idea of their intentions with intimacy - this should already be in their mind

      • Incorporating this info into the audition forms so people are prepared

      • Expectations, tone of the rehearsals 

      • Content they are sending to eboard

    • “How are you going to get there within your own personal boundaries?”

      • Actors having impact in their roles, not being manipulated

  • Review

    • Thinking about length

    • 5 hours mark threw people off

    • Making sure people know that they can come & go, don’t have to stay for whole time

    • Q&A for people who can’t come who still have questions - google form

    • Post event sooner - Wednesday before 

      • Post both October ones soon!

    • Personally inviting people - we can each invite people to the event

Inspiration Project
