Overview
There has been a great awakening in the performing arts over the past few years regarding the health and safety of artists, both on stage and on screen.
While nothing is accidental in performing arts practices, an awareness has developed that somehow we have very dark and very obscure practices.
Body and Consent Training helps establish consent-based boundaries for artists in the performing arts world so everyone can be safe and creative as they experience the stories told on stage/screen.
This code of conduct and the guidelines provides a framework for the stage and screen industries when creating, performing or recording performances of intimate scenes. Body and Consent Education on Performing Arts covers all stages of the creative process, from casting, auditions and pre-production, preparation, rehearsal, performance and post-production.
These practices and guidelines considers performer’s rights about giving or seeking consent and create safe, dynamic and repeatable storytelling for all involved in the work.
FOR WHOM?
This training is for educators, performers (actors, dancers, etc.), future performers who continues their education, directors and producers, backstage and production technical team.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
Participants in Body and Consent Education on Performing Arts training also receive a comprehensive written guide that they can use in their practices for screen and stage.
Especially metoo movement, which started in US and influenced the world shed light on this dark area. As an effective and ethical step, a trauma informed code of conduct has been developed for the stage and screen to prevent harassment and bullying.
Cause
Above all, these trainings will change the performing arts industry for the better. Hopefully together we will create and advocate a consent based, safe and equitable environment for performing arts and screen.
PERFORMERS
- From auditions to rehearsals and to perform you will have the tools to create open communication for consent which is not common in our current practice and education system.
- As in fight or dance choreography the scenes which includes intimacy are no longer made-up as you go along. They are carefully choreographed so that performers can do their best work with consent, confidence and clarity.
DIRECTORS, PRODUCERS and TECHNICAL TEAM
- How we create storytelling is evolving. We will be able to address these ambiguities by giving you the tools to work together to create an environment that allows every member of the team to feel included, informed, educated and safe on exactly how to instill equity, establish safe boundaries, and understand consent when creating artwork.
THEATER and EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
- Body and Consent education, whether with college students or on the set of a professional stage production, is slowly but surely establishing its necessity and normalizing itself in the performing arts. We need these practices to influence the productive and working climate in a creative, positive and reassuring way, and for the confidence of having a roadmap for what to do when possible problems are encountered.
- Although it is not thought that anyone will oppose these approaches in theory, applying these methods in practice directs the focus to the creation made from the identities and personalities of individuals. Such an ethical sensitivity adds value, prestige and credibility to institutions, artists and works by providing transparency and guaranteeing rights.
