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.
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.
