CON TACTO - Education in Consent through Contact Improvisation

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The program aims to explore and deepen in methodologies and to provide
tools for youth workers on how to approach Consent through Contact
Improvisation from a somatic perspective.

Beyond guided workshops, we will be researching together, using CI as a tool
for investigation, in a horizontal, diverse, safe and collective way. We will harvest all the
information and wisdom from within our bodies, and translating it into words,
so we will be cocreating a toolbox for youth workers on Consent and CI.
We will explore it from a balanced approach between verbal and non-verbal communication

We will dive through concepts such as: sensitivity, embodiment, internal
yeses and noes, emotional and conscious state, power and roles, safety and
vulnerability, decision-making, care and mutual support, identifying and
communicating needs, boundaries, conflicts resolution, gender, empathy,
deep listening, etc.
