</span>Theatrical intimacy is defined as any action on stage where the circumstances of the scene or production calls for touch, either physical or imaginative, or moments between actors of simulated sexuality or sexual violence. Kent Trumbull Theatre is dedicated
to navigating these moments to incorporate safer practices and risk-aware decision making throughout the process.</div>
