Building Safety

What does it actually mean to create a “safe space”...or is it a “brave space”? Or is it something else?

Designed for theatre and film artists (though welcoming of all disciplines), this workshop focuses on moving the idea of “safety’ from a stagnant concept, to a core condition understood through biological, social, systemic, and emotional lenses. will come away with vocabulary and tools to identify and remove barriers to safety, and increasing access to connection. By focusing on the science of safety, students will learn how to assess for safety in a room and ethically respond when safety has been compromised (in individuals and groups)

Key Takeaways:

• Creation and use of an action plan to use when a group loses access to safety.
• Use of an action plan to use when individuals lose access to safety.
• Understanding of the core needs of people in community settings
• Ability to explain how danger and safety are interpreted by bodies.
