Creating with Consent: Onstage Intimacies

Cal Summer Arts 2023

Theatrical Intimacy Education

In the pursuit of becoming a more well-rounded theater artist, I completed a 40 hour intensive led by Amanda Rose Villareal of Cal State Fullerton, focused on the creation of consent-based and trauma-informed theater spaces, as well as the intricacies of creating intimacy choreography in numerous scenarios. At the end of the intensive, I was able to act as an intimacy choreographer in a final showcase piece devised by myself and my fellow students.

I have continued my studies in the field, having completed my TIE Beginner Diploma, as well as receiving my Mental Health First Aid Certification from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.

I served for two years as the first Resident Intimacy Choreographer of the student-run theater company at UC Berkeley, BareStage productions, where I acted as the intimacy choreographer for mainstage shows, lead workshops on consent-based and trauma-informed theater, and served as a consultant for directors and performance groups within BareStage and in the UC Berkeley performance community.
