Respect and Content

At REACT, we foster an atmosphere of free artistic expression and non-judgment. We prioritize creating a secure and supportive environment to ensure that everyone feels safe and respected.

The potential to craft stories with genuine discoveries rests on our willingness to explore freely and at times to take emotional and psychological risks. Our goal is to present narratives that provoke thought and evoke feelings, understanding that interpretations may differ among audiences. We may explore uncharted psychological territory, including trance mask work, with the intention of creating interactions and stories that enrich our lives and promote harmony within our community.

Participants in our workshops are never obligated to engage in any aspect of the work that makes them uncomfortable or unsafe. While rehearsals and performances may involve close physical proximity*, intimacy* and potentially controversial subjects*, our priority remains ensuring the well-being of all involved.

* Physical Proximity & Intimacy may include: Hand holding, physical embracing, hugs, touching of face, hair, back, knees, kissing, fake (no contact) slaps or punches, representation of nudity (no actual clothes removal), hitting each other with balloons or hats, for example.

* Subject material may include: Religion, politics, family dynamics, interpersonal relationships, death, birth, sex, sexuality, bigotry, dreams, historic events, abuse of power, justice, personal life stories, for example.
