🎭 September Workshop Open to All!

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Intimacy & Theatrical Storytelling Workshop, happening on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 1:00–4:00 PM.


Whether you’re a performer, director, stage manager, or someone curious about how theatre tells intimate stories with care, this workshop is for you.


Led by a trained intimacy professional, Alix Sideris. This session will introduce participants to the foundational practices of theatrical intimacy—with a focus on consent, agency, and artistry. You don’t need to have staged intimacy before; all you need is a willingness to engage in safe, respectful, and creative exploration.

What to Expect

Each workshop will include active exercises, discussion, and practical staging techniques:


  • Introduction to Intimacy Direction – the core principles that guide this practice.

  • Deep-Listening & Agency Exercises – building awareness of body, breath, and boundaries.

  • Choreography of Intimacy – exploring movement, gesture, and chemistry on stage.

  • Stage Kissing & Placeholders – techniques to keep the story alive while ensuring safety.

  • Self-Care & Closure – practices to support performers emotionally and physically.


All physical contact in this workshop will be consensual. Participants are always welcome to sit out or observe if they feel uncomfortable. The goal is not only to explore physical and emotional intimacy on stage but to teach consent, agency, and respect as the foundation for powerful storytelling.

Why Attend?


This workshop is:

✔️ Beginner-friendly and welcoming to all experience levels

✔️ A safe way to explore sensitive material with guidance and care

✔️ Designed to build performer confidence and creative agency

✔️ Focused on making theatre more authentic, moving, and sustainable


✨ If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to approach intimacy on stage without fear or discomfort, this is your chance. Together, we’ll create a brave space where artists feel respected, supported, and free to tell powerful stories.


No experience needed. Just bring an open mind, a spirit of respect, and a willingness to learn! Spaces are limited.


We look forward to seeing you there. 📝 Register today! Click HERE to sign up.
