Theatrical Intimacy Education involves teaching actors and directors how to approach and portray intimacy and sexual behavior on stage in a safe, respectful, and consensual manner. These best practices can be incorporated into high school theatre lesson plans in various ways. One approach is to utilize exercises and discussions to help students understand and practice the concepts of consent and effective communication. This can include role-playing scenarios in which students practice setting boundaries, asking for consent, and respecting their scene partners' decisions. In addition to addressing these important topics, these exercises can also help students develop their acting skills, such as staying present and focused in the moment. Another aspect of Theatrical Intimacy Education that can be incorporated into lesson plans is using choreography to create consensual physical contact on stage. This can involve working with a choreographer or intimacy director to develop specific touch and movement patterns that are both expressive and respectful of all involved. By incorporating these best practices into their lesson plans, high school theatre teachers can create a space of acceptable risks and a respectful environment for students to explore and portray close relationships in their performances
