“This is one reason why the erotic is so feared,
and so often relegated to the bedroom alone,
when it is recognized at all. For once we begin
to feel deeply all the aspects of our lives, we
begin to demand from ourselves and from our
life-pursuits that they feel in accordance with
that joy which we know ourselves to be capable
of. Our erotic knowledge empowers us,
becomes a lens through which we scrutinize all
aspects of our existence, forcing us to evaluate
those aspects honestly in terms of their relative
meaning within our lives. And this is a grave
responsibility, projected from within each of us,
not to settle for the convenient, the shoddy, the
conventionally expected, nor the merely safe.” -Audre Lorde by @ziaphora_d

Two weeks done at Wits University. Getting to facilitate our Teacher Training Methodology workshops to our future and current educators is one of my claims to being cool. What a terrific time. Can’t wait to go back! Xx by @ziaphora_d

I almost lost to my own stupidity. What is more is that I didn’t. ✌🏿The first half of this year felt like that one time I had pneumonia and got stuck in a snow storm.😂✋🏾 by @ziaphora_d

Intimacy does not live in the head.
It lives in the body.

We are honoured to work with Ziaphora Dakile as our Acting & Movement Facilitator for Writing Intimacy & What We Bring To The Table.

Ziaphora guides participants through intimacy as an embodied practice — exploring:
• presence
• breath
• impulse
• voice
• the moment before the moment

This work asks performers to listen — not perform.
To respond — not impress.
To arrive truthfully in the body before arriving in the scene.

🖤
This is where honesty becomes physical.
