I developed this worksheet to fill a gap in actor training, where I observed that actors were not being asked to take the time and space to consider their own boundaries. This list is inspired by the tool of a Yes/No/Maybe List, which is often used in sex education workshops.
It can be easier to confidently claim your boundaries when you have a clear sense of what they are before you are in a pressured moment. Look over this list and be honest with yourself about what aligns with your needs and your integrity as an artist and a human. There are no wrong answers.
More worksheets coming soon!
