Practice saying NO

About the Workshop

Practice Saying No – If you’ve felt limited by the ‘no means no’ and ‘anything other than an enthusiastic yes is a no’ rhetoric of consent, this class will give you a much deeper and more nuanced way to talk about consent and boundaries.

We will go over the Yes-to-No Spectrum and then do practice exercises to feel the embodied sense of our no.

For Intimacy Coordinators, this can assist in assessing an actor’s feelings about a scene or particular action, as well as your own comfort as you do your work.

We will also discuss building a care plan for actors (and yourself!) through challenging material.
