Intensive Workshop LOVE IS ALL AROUND: An Intensive about Intimacy on stage
 
Intimacy: The state of having a close, personal, or romantic relationship with someone. (Cambridge Dictionary). In this workshop, we will explore how to make intimate scenes safe for everyone while creating beautiful and believable scenes. We will focus on how to convey intimacy in our improvised scenes, from dating and attraction at the beginning of a connection, to how to create scenes that touch the heart and are authentic and varied, going beyond romance to different types of personal relationships. We will focus on the safety principles that exist to guide us and learn more about how they can be applied to our work as improvisers. We will also learn how to express and respect consent and boundaries, both our own and those of our scene partners, to help us create safe and believable scenes.
