Working with Trans and Non-Binary Artists will outline best practices for staging effective and affirming trans and non-binary intimacy. Our theatre, film, and educational institutions are built upon colonial sex/gender systems, resulting in stories that often misrepresent life outside the binary while marginalizing trans storytellers themselves. As arts professionals, we are called into a relational and reparative approach to resist bias against transgender and non-binary people and forge new methods for consent-based collaboration. This course offers interactive and reflective opportunities to engage with queer/trans perspectives on creating spaces for gender-expansive artists to thrive.

Pricing
We understand that things are tight right now, but we want to ensure you have access to high-quality training. To that end, we proudly offer tiered pricing, which supports access to high-quality training for all participants, regardless of their economic circumstances. Please pick the price point that best reflects your training budget. If you can afford a higher tier, please consider choosing that price point to save a spot for someone with a more limited budget. 

$90 • $80 • $70
All participants, regardless of price, receive the same 3-hour workshop.

We cannot offer refunds. However, if you need to make an exchange for credit or transfer to another workshop, provided you notify us 14 days in advance of your scheduled workshop, a small administrative fee will apply. Click here for details. 

If you are a Global Majority (BIPOC) artist or a member of another underrepresented group, please consider applying for The EDIII Scholarship.

Needs-based scholarships are also available.

Space in Digital Workshops is limited to ensure the best experience for our participants. Workshops are live; we currently do not offer recordings of our workshops. There is no waitlist for Digital Workshops. Classes are first-come, first-served, and class sizes are limited to maintain educational quality.

After you complete your registration, you will receive an email with additional information and helpful links. You will receive an email with the link one day before the workshop. 

The Best Practices Digital Workshop or a comprehensive TIE workshop (e.g., Workshop Weekend) is a prerequisite for most other Theatrical Intimacy Education Digital Workshops. This ensures that all participants are familiar with TIE's specific approach and vocabulary, thereby ensuring educational quality for all participants. If you have taken another workshop with Theatrical Intimacy Education and would like to discuss which Digital Workshops may be right for you, please reach out!
