Brave Spaces: Stage Combat for Empowered Learning

Saturday October 18, 2025 3:15pm - 4:30pm MDT

Westbury Theatre (Fringe Theatre Arts Barns) @ ATB Financial Arts Barns Building, 10330 84 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6E 4B4, Canada

Join us for a comprehensive workshop that provides educators with a foundational understanding of stage combat and intimacy practices, tailored for classroom settings. Through interactive exercises, we will explore key principles such as safety, process, and the creation of brave spaces where students can engage in physical storytelling with confidence. The session will introduce consent-based practices that support both combat and intimacy work, offering tools to foster clear communication, trust, and respect. Empower your practice with the principles of safety and respect, and gain a stronger understanding of how to integrate these practices into your teaching.
