IDC Training & Workshop Facilitation 3

Question 1

Which approach to debrief at the end of an intimacy workshop is most consistent with IDC methodology?

Accepted Answer

Facilitate an open verbal debrief followed by private written reflection time

Answer

Combining verbal and written reflection gives participants multiple modalities to process their experience at their own depth.

Question 2

An actor repeatedly repositions a partner's hands beyond the choreographed placement during a workshop exercise. The facilitator should first:

Accepted Answer

Pause the exercise, name the boundary departure, and reset choreography clearly

Answer

Pausing and naming the departure immediately reinforces that choreographic boundaries are binding, protecting both participants and group norms.

Question 3

In the IDC framework, 'stunt' or 'technical' framing of intimate choreography serves what primary facilitation purpose?

Accepted Answer

It depersonalizes the work so actors can approach it as craft rather than personal exposure

Answer

Technical framing creates professional distance that reduces anxiety and allows actors to engage with intimate material as skilled practitioners.

Question 4

Which facilitation method best supports participants with varying levels of prior intimacy training experience in the same workshop?

Accepted Answer

Design tiered optional extensions so novices can engage at a base level while experienced participants can go deeper

Answer

Tiered extensions allow all experience levels to participate meaningfully without anyone feeling either overwhelmed or under-challenged.

Question 5

Under IDC standards, when is it appropriate to film or record a training workshop?

Accepted Answer

Only with explicit informed consent from every participant before recording begins

Answer

Informed consent for recording is required from all participants; no institutional authority supersedes individual participant consent.
