This class will be broken up into 2 parts.
Part 1: This will be a 1 hour class discussing keeping yourself and your cast members safe when choreographed combat/violence is performed on stage. This section will primarily focus on how to recognize when a piece of choreography is unsafe or when you are given unsafe props to use and how to advocate for yourself.
- This section will be taught by Advanced Actor Combatant Will Snyder
Part 2: This will be a 1 hour class discussing foundations of theatrical intimacy and advocating best practices as endorsed by Theatrical Intimacy Education. Examples of what will be taught: levels of touch, clear communication, and specifics of timing.
NO TOUCHING WILL BE REQUIRED.
- This class will be taught by Intimacy Choreographer Rachel Craig.
