Intimacy coordinator
An intimacy coordinator is someone who helps actors and actresses on TV shows, movies, and plays make sure they feel safe and comfortable during romantic or sexual scenes. Like when they have to kiss or pretend to be naked with another actor.
Just like how you might feel shy or nervous when you have to hug someone you don’t know very well, actors can feel the same way too! An intimacy coordinator helps the actors practice the scenes, talk about how they feel, and make sure everything is okay for them.
Think of the intimacy coordinator like a teacher or coach who helps the actors do their best and feel okay while they are pretending to be in love or having a crush on someone. It’s important for everyone to feel respected and safe, just like when you play with your friends.
