0 someone whose job is to help and support actors performing in intimate scenes (= ones involving sex) in a film, play, etc. and to make sure that they do not experience anything unwanted or offensive during these performances: --
An intimacy co-ordinator is an advocate, a liaison between actors and production.
It is the intimacy coordinator's responsibility to discuss boundaries with each actor before rehearsals or filming starts.
Intimacy co-ordinators are needed to bring skills, techniques, clear choreography and consent when it comes to touch and nudity.
Intimacy coordinator Ita O’Brien is working to free female and queer sexuality from the male gaze behind the scenes.
"I don't think I'm ever going to work without an intimacy coordinator again," the actress said.
