Consent and Boundaries in Public Spaces
A few weeks ago, a book/cosplay event took a dark turn when 2 performer guests were harassed/followed/dare we say assaulted by attendees. The podcast “Mind of Sai Marie” with seasoned event professional and writer Sai Marie, did an episode on the importance of consent in public spaces, that really piqued my interest. I reached out to Sai Marie to thank her for sharing this story, and to see if she would like to have a conversation about consent and boundaries. And she agreed!
So here is our conversation about consent and boundaries, especially when the “traditional social contract” is altered.
"Integrating Consent Practices in Dance Education"
I am especially honored to be mentioned by name, with several citations and with the words, "Perry has taken a particularly leading role..."in this article in the latest issue of the Journal of Dance Education. Thank you. Being seen in this way means so much.
Also glad to see Intimacy Direction in Dance included and to be alongside my colleagues Rocío Mendez, Adi Cabral, and Brooke M. Haney.
The article is available to NDEO members or if your institution has access to Taylor and Francis journals here.

Join me as I get to return to one of my favorite podcasts, “Beyond the Steps” with Apolla Performance, as Melissa and Bri and I talk about really practical tips for taking care of your needs and boundaries if you are an actor or dancer on set.
Writing updates- an Article and Book!
The Special Issue of the Journal of Dance Education features my “In-Practice” article “Assessments of Care” regarding consent-forward and trauma-informed grading practices in the dance classroom. A free e-copy is available when you use this link (limited to the first 50 uses). I’d love to know your thoughts when you read it!
Also, I have turned in my manuscript! Look for more pedagogic tools for dance and movement coming your way in 2026 in this new book! Stay tuned for updates as I move through the final stages of the editing process.
Review for "Mud" at Latiné Theater Lab
Mud is such an iconic play of abstract, theatrical, modern work. It was my pleasure to create the intimacy and violence for this inaugural performance of the new Latiné Theater Lab in South Florida!
Check out our review here.
A few production photos are also up on my Work Samples page!
Gratitude for "The Impossible Task of Today"
Where to even begin this post of gratitude for “The Impossible Task of Today”….
Thank you, Jeff, for this story. Thank you, Matt, for trusting me with the Dark. I watched audiences cry, gasp, hold each other, sit in stunned silence as they spent 95 minutes in Jack’s grief. I am so honored to have been part of both the creative team and the cast that put this nearly-impossible task on the stage. Thank you both for your vision, direction, collaboration that helped me hold the nuances of protection.
Matt Corey and Chelsea Tuffy- thank you for being such amazing artists who made the Dark so much more with your sound and costume designs. You work brought so much more to mine and I am grateful.
George- one of my favorite onstage moments is when the Dark walks between Jack and Val and the lights go to red one by one as it passes by. A thrill every night to watch that tech transform the story.
Grace- thank you for being such a professional and caring ID, creating beautiful moments, and giving me this opportunity to take a different role.
Rose and Tim- it was so fun to get to be with you as an actor. Your support and professionalism are unmatched.
And the cast. Wow. Iain, Vaishnavi, Kaelyn, and Anthony, I am so, so grateful for your friendship, your fun, your absolutely every night stunning performances that I got to witness. You are all incredible actors and humans and brilliant, vulnerable performers. I could not be more humbled than by sharing the stage with you all.
Iain, special thanks for your collaboration. It was so fun to move and create with you.
And the entire TheatreLab team- Thank you for the amazing work you do. I always love playing with you.
Reviews of "The Impossible Task of Today"
I have been thrilled to be back onstage as an actor for the first time in a handful of years as The Dark in “The Impossible Task of Today” at TheatreLab. In addition to embodying this role, I created the choreography for the play, which is really 90 minutes of movement for The Dark!
I have to offer thanks and respect to scene partner Iain Batchelor, Director Matt Stabile, and playwright Jeff Bower, who also had invaluable movement input.
The play has been really well-received by the community and we’ve gotten some great reviews, too!
