Six Elements Theatre is proud to host a day of workshop classes in Intimacy for the Stage on Memorial Day, Monday May 25th.
What is Intimacy for the Stage? From the former website of Intimacy Directors International: "Intimacy for the Stage is choreographing of Moments of Intimacy in performance. The focus is on subtle and specific details in movement and intention, for the purpose of telling the story of the scene. This is not just "making out” or sex scenes, but can also encompass moments of intimacy found among dear friends, between parents and children, and can also cover scenes of sexual violence. Intimacy For The Stage has been enthusiastically received as a practice which empowers actors to respect their own boundaries while improving the quality and clarity of scenes of intimacy." |

Workshop Details
Session 1 9:00AM - 11:00AM: Foundations of Performing Intimacy This class covers the fundamental aspects of how to create intimate stories onstage as a performer. Beyond just the basics of consent-based theatre practices, this class will also prepare performers to be active collaborators in the rehearsal room - helping shape the story as their characters rather than themselves. Session 2 11:30AM - 1:00PM: Intimacy on the Spectrum This class is great for students of many levels. It is for individuals who have done intimacy for a long time, and are looking at a new way to think about the ways we perform. This is also an opportunity for those who are beginning their journey, and wanting to expand their ways to connect as actors. This class provides tools and adjustments for working with neurodivergent students and collaborators, while also expanding the ways in which we connect and think about not just intimacy, but theatrical connection in general. |
