About the input :
Who is the intimacy coordinator, what do they do, when and why do we need them in film & theatre?
This session introduces intimacy coordination, the relatively new profession and offers filmmaking students a walk through the process of intimacy coordination for film projects.
The intimacy coordinator is not just there for scenes that include simulated sex, but also any scene that require any level of nudity, intimacy or vulnerability.
Together we will discuss and explore how to identify the need for an IC in your project and get a deeper understanding of the process of working with an IC. Starting with script analysis, discussions with director about the artistic vision of the scene, discussions with wardrobe about modesty garments, with production about closed set regulations, choreography of the intimate scenes, rehearsals and support to actors … and till the post production support the IC offers to the actors. We will also visit some of the guidelines, risk assessments, check lists and procedures that the
IC uses in productions, and discuss how having an IC can prevent violations onset and create safer spaces for actors and crew to work.
