Working with Trans and Non-Binary Artists
Beginner Diploma
Saturday, November 7th, 2026
12:00 pm-3:00 pm Eastern Time (New York)

Working with Trans and Non-Binary Artists will outline TIE’s best practices for staging effective and affirming trans and non-binary intimacy. Our theatre, film, and educational institutions are built upon colonial sex/gender systems, resulting in stories that often misrepresent life outside the binary while marginalizing trans storytellers themselves. As arts professionals, we are called into a relational and reparative approach to resist bias against transgender and non-binary people and forge new methods for consent-based collaboration. This course offers interactive, reflective opportunities to engage with queer/trans perspectives on creating spaces where gender-expansive artists can thrive.

Belonging: Building Intersectional and Accessible Spaces (BIAS)
Beginner and Intermediate Diploma (This course may be substituted for both Foundations in Race, Intimacy, and Consent and Race and Choreography.)
No Prerequisite
Monday, December 14th, 2026
6:00 pm-9:00 pm Eastern Time (New York)

The intersection of resources and support is where we can begin to create true belonging. This interactive three-hour digital workshop moves beyond the idea that “all are welcome” and asks what it takes to create spaces where people can say, “This was built with me in mind.”

We define culture as “what is given space in the room to grow.” Through reflection, conversation, and practical application, participants will examine how everyday choices shape culture and learn strategies and tools for greater awareness, accountability, and intentional action.

The goal is not perfection—it is creating cultures where people know they were considered from the beginning.

TIE Three-Day In-Person Intensive in Italy
No Prerequisite
Beginner/Intermediate Diploma
August 1st-3rd, 2027
Accademia dell’Arte, Arezzo, Italy

TIE Three-Day In-Person Intensive | Italy 2027

August 1–3, 2027 | Accademia dell’Arte | Arezzo, Italy

Immerse Yourself in TIE's Practices in the Heart of Tuscany

Join Theatrical Intimacy Education (TIE) for an extraordinary three-day training experience in beautiful Arezzo, Italy, immediately preceding the 2027 TIE International Symposium.

Hosted at the renowned Accademia dell’Arte, the TIE Three-Day Intensive combines our signature Workshop Weekend and In-Person Lab into one comprehensive, immersive professional development experience.

Designed for theatre and film professionals, educators, directors, performers, intimacy professionals, and creative leaders, this intensive offers an opportunity to explore TIE's consent-based methodologies through practical application, artistic exploration, and collaborative learning.

Whether you are new to TIE or looking to deepen your practice, this training strengthens your skills, expands your understanding, and builds confidence in leading creative spaces with clarity, intention, and care.

A Deep Dive into TIE's Practices and Methodologies

Go beyond learning individual tools and discover how TIE's practices work together to support the entire creative process.

This immersive intensive takes participants on a deep dive into TIE's methodologies, exploring the principles, philosophies, and practical applications that inform our approach to consent-based artistic collaboration.

Through interactive workshops, experiential exercises, guided discussions, and hands-on application, participants will explore:

• Consent-Based Practices: Deepen your understanding of consent, communication, and collaborative decision-making in creative environments.

• Boundary-Setting Tools: Explore practical strategies for establishing, communicating, and respecting personal and professional boundaries.

• Creating Spaces of Acceptable Risk: Learn approaches that support artistic exploration while recognizing individual autonomy and the complexities of creative work.

• Intimacy Coordination and Choreography: Examine the tools, techniques, and collaborative processes used to stage and film intimate storytelling.

• Facilitation and Leadership: Build confidence in navigating challenging conversations, responding to unexpected situations, and supporting productive collaboration.

• Practical Application: Apply TIE's methodologies through guided exercises, exploration, and feedback from experienced faculty.

The intensive emphasizes not only what these tools are, but why, when, and how to use them effectively.

Our goal is for every participant to leave with a stronger understanding of TIE's practices and greater confidence in leading their own classrooms, rehearsals, productions, and creative communities.

Understanding the Work of Intimacy Coordinators and Intimacy Choreographers

An essential component of the Three-Day Intensive is an in-depth exploration of the distinct roles, responsibilities, and professional scope of practice of Intimacy Coordinators and Intimacy Choreographers.

Participants will examine the ethical considerations, professional expectations, and collaborative relationships involved in this work, gaining insight into how to support performers, directors, production teams, and the creative process.

This Intensive provides foundational learning, offering opportunities to apply these practices through guided exercises, collaborative exploration, and feedback from TIE faculty.

Together, these experiences provide a comprehensive understanding of TIE's approach and its applications across theatre, film, education, and other performance environments.

TIE's Upcoming Certification Requirements

As part of TIE's upcoming certification program, candidates must complete a Three-Day In-Person Intensive as part of their certification pathway.

This requirement reflects TIE's commitment to meaningful, experiential learning. We believe understanding consent-based methodologies requires more than theory; it requires opportunities to practice, collaborate, reflect, and apply these skills in real time.

The Italy Three-Day Intensive fulfills this in-person training requirement for TIE's upcoming certification program.

Have You Already Completed a TIE Workshop Weekend and In-Person Lab?

Great news! Your previous training counts!

Participants who have already completed both a TIE Workshop Weekend and an In-Person Lab will receive full credit toward the Three-Day Intensive requirement within TIE's upcoming certification program.

You don't need to repeat this training to meet the requirement. TIE recognizes and honors the time, dedication, and professional development you have already invested in your education.

What if you've completed only one of these trainings?

If you have previously attended either a Workshop Weekend or an In-Person Lab, but not both, please contact TIE. We would be happy to schedule an individual consultation to review your completed training and help determine the best pathway to meet the remaining requirements.

We are committed to supporting each participant's unique educational journey while maintaining the integrity of our certification standards.
