Two-Hour Tips: Shakespeare and Intimacy explores consent-based approaches to staging intimacy, relationships, and physical storytelling within Shakespeare’s plays. Participants will examine how heightened language, power dynamics, social expectations, and the given circumstances of Shakespeare’s texts can inform clear, repeatable, and actor-centered choreography.

Through discussion and practical tools, participants will explore approaches to staging moments of romantic, sexual, and relational intimacy while maintaining the complexity, urgency, and theatricality of Shakespeare’s work. The workshop will also consider how contemporary consent practices can support—not diminish—bold artistic choices and help artists navigate historical texts through a modern ethical lens.

This two-hour digital workshop is designed for actors, directors, educators, intimacy coordinators, choreographers/directors, and other theatre practitioners seeking practical tools for bringing consent-based practices into Shakespeare rehearsal and performance.
