GOOD INTIMATE SCENES ADVANCE THE STORY AND REVEAL SOMETHING NEW ABOUT THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP
With actors, intimate scenes can be broken down to objectives, obstacles, actions and stakes like any good writing. Through breath, movement and gaze the actor captures the essence of the character both on an emotional and physical level. The authenticity of the storytelling in those specific moments, is crucial. Intimacy coordinators are there to provide tools for simulating intimacy and choreographing the scene together with the director and actors. With these means, intimacy coordinators aim to provide the cast and crew with a space where challenging content can be made safely.
By working with us your production is telling the intended story, making the intimate encounter look more real and making sure that you are accurately portraying the intended communities represented on stage and screen while keeping everyone safe.
