What Makes This Course Different
🎧 Short audio lessons you can take at your own pace
✍️ Simple, powerful exercises—solo or with a friend
🧠 Based on real-life experience, not theory
No grades. No jargon. Just real skills for real moments.
TRUSTED BY
COMMUNICATION IS A SKILL
We all mean well. But good intentions aren’t always enough
The same clarity and consent skills we teach for high-trust film scenes can change how you speak, listen, and connect in everyday life.
🎯 Set boundaries without awkwardness or fear
🎯 Ask for consent in ways that build—not break—trust
🎯 Respond with calm when things feel unclear or unspoken

COURSE FORMAT
Learning through Exploration and Reflection
Learning isn’t solely fueled by accumulating knowledge, which is why this workshop is deliberately light on content.
The core of the workshop lies in the guided individual, and collective activities. Approach these activities as personal explorations. They are simple and powerful but not easy. Embrace the challenge, lean in, and witness your potential grow rapidly.
Content
What this is, how it works, and how to get the most out of it.
Learn the rhythm of the course: listen → write → get feedback → reflect → role play. You’ll get a clear roadmap and set your own pace for honest, powerful practice.
It’s not about being nice. It’s about being clear, respectful, and real.
Discover how human-centric communication—not tricks or scripts—is the foundation for ethical scenes. Learn what it means to care well in professional contexts.
Sometimes the best way to support someone is to shut up.
Explore the art of asking better questions, making space, and listening with intention. Learn how to draw out truth without pressure—and how silence can speak volumes.
The words you choose shape how power moves.
Learn how to reflect, mirror, and name emotions without triggering defensiveness. Explore how power dynamics show up subtly, and how to speak responsibly inside them.
Consent evolves. So should your conversations.
Move beyond checkbox thinking. Understand why real consent is an ongoing dialogue, and how to create space for people to update their boundaries as things change.
Enthusiasm is not the same as informed consent.
Get real about emotional signals. Learn to distinguish between feelings and decisions, and how to check in beyond the surface—especially when someone seems “all in.”
Boundaries shift. You have to pay attention.
Explore the difference between rigid, fluid, and invisible boundaries. Start identifying your own—and learn how to respect others’, even when they don’t look like yours.
You can’t choreograph ethics on shoot day.
Understand why ethical work starts in pre-production—and what happens when you’re brought in too late. Learn to draw the line between doing your job and damage control.
Consent needs a structure—not just a vibe.
Learn about layered consent (surface, scene, deep) and how to use safety systems like safe words and non-verbal signals to protect everyone involved.
If it goes smoothly, it’s probably because someone planned for it.
Explore the real-world tools that create safe, creative environments: consent checklists, performer-director alignment, STI protocols, and when to step in—or step back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any other questions?
Reach out, and we’ll be happy to help.
Permission Practice is a short, self-paced course that helps you build real skills in boundaries, consent, and communication for intimate work on screen. You’ll move through a series of guided audio lessons, writing prompts, and roleplay exercises—on your own or with a trusted partner.
Not at all.
This course is for anyone working with sensitive or intimate content—on screen, on stage, or behind the scenes. That includes performers, directors, producers, writers, and creators in film, indie, or adult media.
If you’re helping shape stories that include emotionally vulnerable scenes—and you care about doing it with clarity, trust, and respect—this is for you.
And even if you’re not on set, but want to improve how you talk about boundaries and consent in real life, you’ll still get a lot out of this.
No. You can complete the full course solo. Some exercises include optional partner versions, and you’re welcome to do them with a friend, collaborator, or co-learner—but it’s not required.
This isn’t a certificate program. We don’t believe real skill comes from ticking boxes or watching passive content. This course is light on content and heavy on practice. It’s designed to help you think clearly, respond skillfully, and build grounded confidence in real-world situations.
Most people complete it in a week over a few sessions. You can move at your own pace—pause when you need to, or revisit lessons later.
• 9 audio-based learning modules
• Guided writing and roleplay exercises
• Optional reflection and feedback structure
• Lifetime access to the material
• Access to the public Red Cheeks Discord channel for shared learning and discussion
• If you decide to join our Intimacy on Screen Workshop, the price of this course counts towards your workshop fee.
Not exactly. Permission Practice draws from the foundations of our flagship workshop, but it’s condensed, self-paced, and built for immediate application. It’s a great entry point—and many participants go on to join the full workshop.
Not in this course. This is a self-guided experience. You can work through the exercises solo, with a trusted partner, or share your reflections in the open RedCheeks Discord group for community feedback.
No. You have lifetime access to the course, including any future updates. Start when you’re ready. Return when you need to.
The regular price is €250, but as part of our launch week, you can get full access for €150.
