Choosing What We Pass On From Here with Dr. Amanda Rose V
Dr. Amanda Rose Villarreal discusses the concept of safe spaces and the limitations of the term. Our conversation introduces the idea of spaces of acceptable risk, where participants are encouraged to take risks and be vulnerable. Villarreal emphasizes the importance of transparent communication and shared responsibility in creating these spaces. They also explore the role of consent in collaboration and creativity, drawing parallels to gaming theory. Villarreal talks to us about recognizing power dynamics in theater and education and advocating for consent-based practices. Dr. Villarreal highlights the need for consent-based communication and offers a self-care cue as a communication tool.
