Intimacy coordinators are becoming an increasingly important part of the entertainment industry, as more and more productions recognize the need for these professionals. They ensure that intimate scenes are handled in a safe and respectful manner.
Here are three game changers that are helping intimacy coordinators to do their job more effectively on set:
1. Clear guidelines and protocols: Having clear guidelines and protocols in place for intimate scenes can help to ensure that everyone involved in the scene knows what to expect, and can help to prevent misunderstandings or miscommunications. Intimacy coordinators can work with production teams to develop these guidelines and protocols, and can help to ensure that they are followed on set.
2. Consent workshops: Consent workshops can be a valuable tool for helping actors and production teams to understand the importance of consent in intimate scenes. Intimacy coordinators can lead these workshops, and can provide actors with the tools and language they need to communicate their boundaries and preferences.
3. Increased awareness and recognition: As more productions recognize the importance of intimacy coordinators, there is a growing awareness of the profession and the role that intimacy coordinators play on set.
This increased awareness can help to ensure that intimacy coordinators are given the resources and support they need to do their job effectively, and can help to create a safer and more inclusive entertainment industry for all.
