For Theatre and Dance Spaces
Workshops on:
Consent-Forward and Trauma-Informed Pedagogy, Intimacy, Touch, Power, & more.
Schools and Academic Spaces
Trauma-Informed Pedagogy can transform classrooms and young artists. As dance educators and theatre teachers, we have a responsibility to teach our students not just technique, but offer opportunities for them to step into their own personal and creative powers. As Nicole is someone who understands both pedagogy and the body, the classroom and the stage these are Professional Development and Guest Artist Sessions with real credibility- in both classroom and the world.
Book a dance or theatre institutional consultation or Professional Development session through Momentum Stage and Intimacy Professionals Education Collective (Institutional consultations may writing and/or advising policies on instructional touch and/or staged intimacy for theatre, dance, and/or film departments.).
Book a Care-full Creativity workshop for your academic dance and/or theatre program for practical training consent-forward, trauma-informed, psychologically safe pedagogy. This is about pedagogy, so we go way beyond touch in classroom to examine the syllabus, assessments, and more.
The student version of the workshop can fulfill the Lab 1 requirement for Intimacy Professionals Education Collective, a SAG-AFTRA accredited Intimacy Coordinator training program, while the faculty version can complete one or modules of the Intimacy Educator: Dance/Movement track (launching Fall 2026)!
Workshops or Professional Development sessions may take the form of:
Week-long residencies
Full day workshops
2 hour workshops (may be virtual or in-person)
