IDC Training & Workshop Facilitation 4

Question 1

Which statement most accurately describes the relationship between play and safety in IDC workshop facilitation?

Accepted Answer

Structured play and low-stakes games early in a workshop actively build the psychological safety needed for intimate work

Answer

Low-stakes playful exercises at the start of a workshop build rapport, reduce defensive tension, and create conditions where consent conversations feel natural.

Question 2

When facilitating a workshop that includes simulated romantic or sexual content, the IDC's 'outside-in' technique refers to:

Accepted Answer

Establishing physical choreography first, then layering emotional intention over precise movement

Answer

Outside-in choreography establishes safe, concrete physical parameters before emotional investment, preventing actors from improvising beyond agreed boundaries.

Question 3

A facilitator notices one participant is consistently self-isolating during partnered exercises, appearing withdrawn but not requesting a formal opt-out. The best response is to:

Accepted Answer

Approach them privately during a break to check in and clarify their needs without pressure

Answer

A private check-in respects the participant's dignity while gathering information needed to support them appropriately.

Question 4

In IDC training, the 'intimacy continuum' concept is used primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Help practitioners understand that intimacy in performance exists on a spectrum from non-contact emotional work to explicit physical choreography

Answer

The intimacy continuum framework helps facilitators assess the relative complexity and risk of different intimacy tasks when designing sessions.

Question 5

Which facilitation practice best models consent culture for participants during a workshop on intimacy coordination techniques?

Accepted Answer

Asking for permission before demonstrating a touch on a volunteer's body during instruction

Answer

Asking permission in real time before touching a demonstration volunteer models the exact consent practice participants are expected to transfer to their own work.
