Reviews

Staging Sex makes an excellent case for implementing a movement-based system for staging intimacy that is specific, desexualized, and repeatable. It addresses the explicit and implicit power structures within rehearsals and provides a pathway for actors to have agency over their own bodies. -Hillary Boyd, Theatre Topics, Volume 31, Number 2, July 2021, pp. 203-204
