THIS WEEK IN THEATRE NEWS:
from Howlround
Balancing Power Through Intimacy in the Rehearsal Space
by Ann James and Rocio Mendez
From the article:
Ann James: Rocio, in all your glory, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me.
Rocio Mendez: It is an honor and a privilege to be talking with you. Thank you.
Ann: Rocio, please tell me how you came to the field of intimacy.
Rocio: I am a fight director, and several years ago I was doing a production of José Rivera’s Marisol at the New School, which is a play that does have a sexual assault. The head of the program at the time had just gone to an intimacy/consent-based workshop with Intimacy Directors International (IDI), which is now Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC). This department head was super hyped about it and wanted to change the entire curriculum to have consent-based practices, which was awesome. Because of that, there was this pause in the production for Marisol since she wanted all of the students to have agency and consent through all the processes in the program. One of the actors decided to revoke consent from what I had choreographed because we didn't start from a consent-based practice. They brought in an intimacy director, Mitch McCoy, who is now a colleague. We collaborated and ended up sticking with the choreography that I initially had done. We just wanted to do it from a consent-forward space, and it was really great.

We invite you to join us for a premiere performance of our play, "Mira and the Liminal Dimension"! This is a collaboratively created show based on the concept of liminal space, and is our own modern mythical tale! The show is a one-act performance with no intermission.
