Questions of consent: an ASTER Conversation with Molly Tipping

Practitioners in the fields of movement, performance and bodywork are increasingly being called upon to consider questions of consent: how and when we are touched and touch others, how we offer and respect choice, and how we talk about it.

How can we foster an alive, engaging and embodied consensual culture? How do we embody principles of consent, how do we develop language for consent, and how do we provide opportunities for conversation, communication and agency?

ASTER Association invites you to consider these questions in conversation with Molly Tipping, Feldenkrais practitioner and consent educator, whose work draws on practice-led and deeply thoughtful approaches to creating safety and engagement in movement-based practices and beyond.

Molly will share some valuable frameworks, tools and practices for ‘doing consent’ in the somatic landscape. As well as considering how we can use consensual protocols in our teaching and practice, we will reflect on what our somatic skills can bring to the conversation. Let’s build our collective capacity to engage with the complex questions of consent.

About Molly:

Molly Tipping has moved through a career as a Dancer, Pilates Instructor, Ideokinesis Teacher, Feldenkrais Practitioner, and Consent Educator. Working primarily as a Feldenkrais Practitioner now, Molly has been weaving Consent Protocol into her private sessions for many years. As demand has ballooned, Molly has been teaching Consent as a stand alone practice. Molly is trained through Betty Martin's School of Consent as well as through Intimacy Directors and Co-ordinators. Molly unites her Somatic lineage with Betty’s Consent teachings and uses the industry standard of IDC to consider the complex question of how do we do Consent. Molly is currently supporting the students and staff in the Acting, Performance and Dance departments at WAAPA to write curricular and up skill in Consent. www.tippingmotion.com.au
