This article sets out to argue that purposefully consenting to touch constructs a metaphorical ‘consent-bubble’ in which only those invited into its parameters (often not including the IC, facilitator or teacher) may engage in touch, considering they comply with its uniquely constructed rules and boundaries. To do so, emphasis is laid on the intricacies, processes and importance of communication and consent within the scope of touch and performing arts training. In addition, it is argued that the lack of such consent results in embodied self-preservation and tension activation strategies that halter effective learning. Finally, practical strategies (from an IC perspective) are devised to construct and maintain the consent-bubble, ensuring that touch can be utilised safely, efficiently and consensually in training.

本文旨在论证，有目的地同意触摸构建了一个隐喻的“同意泡沫”，其中只有那些被邀请进入其参数的人（通常不包括 IC、协调员或老师）可以参与触摸，考虑到他们遵守其独特的构造规则和界限。为此，重点强调触摸和表演艺术培训范围内沟通和同意的复杂性、过程和重要性。此外，有人认为，缺乏这种同意会导致具体的自我保护和紧张激活策略，从而阻碍有效的学习。最后，设计了实用的策略（从 IC 的角度来看）来构建和维护同意泡沫，确保在训练中可以安全、高效和一致地使用触摸。
