Consent-Forward Theatre March 29, 2026
5:00-10:00 pm
Led by Kat Walsh
Join us at Theatre NOVA for a consent-forward theatre leadership workshop designed specifically for directors, artistic directors, producers, and stage managers.
Consent-forward theatre informs and shapes power dynamics, trust, and artistic courage in the rehearsal room. This workshop introduces artistic directors, directors, producers, and stage managers to the five pillars of intimacy work: Context, Communication, Consent, Choreography, and Closure, offering a shared language for ethical, rigorous, and creatively expansive practice. We’ll explore how intimacy work strengthens the entire production process, in addition to scenes involving intimate moments. We’ll also tackle real-world leadership questions, such as whether members of a production team can hold intimacy responsibilities. The focus is on purpose and approach, equipping participants to build rehearsal rooms where artists and designers feel supported and inspired in the creative process.
Recommended Donation: $20
This workshop is offered on a donation basis to ensure this essential education remains accessible to theatre leadership at all levels.
