Consent, Risk & The Body (with Grace Andrews)

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

A workshop that illuminates intimacy practice as a tool in a modern, robust rehearsal room – going beyond just physical consent, to form the fabric of our working ethos as 21st century artists. With a heart-led joyful approach, we will discover how to create spaces fuelled by hope, not fear. Through physical exercises in boundaries, risk and residue, we emerge with shared language, unlocking creative freedom.
