As an inter-actor, you’re expected to play with total strangers in ways that are intimate, aggressive, bold, and vulnerable, with barely any time for trust to be earned. This is why entrusting is an essential skill for all inter-actors. Entrusting is the conscious act of giving trust before it has been earned.
