What is an Intimacy Coordinator?
An Intimacy Coordinator is a trained professional who ensures the safe, consensual, and respectful depiction of intimate scenes in film, television, theater, and other performance arts. They collaborate with actors, directors, and production teams to choreograph scenes involving physical touch, nudity, or simulated sex, prioritizing performers' boundaries and well-being. Their responsibilities include script analysis, actor consultations, creating nudity riders, facilitating rehearsals, and overseeing closed-set protocols, all grounded in informed consent and creative collaboration.
Why I Pursue Intimacy Coordination Alongside Performance Work
With over 15 years as an independent choreographer and performing artist, I've delved deeply into the dynamics of body expression on stage and screen. Transitioning into intimacy coordination allows me to apply this expertise to create safer and more empowering creative environments. In a world increasingly demanding accountability in storytelling, especially concerning intimate content, I am committed to ensuring that clear boundaries and established consent lead to thriving creativity and profound narratives.
