What is Intimacy Direction & Coordination? 

Like fight choreography, intimacy direction (theatre) and coordination (tv/film) are tools and practices that allow artists to create choreographed kissing, simulated sex acts, intimate touch, and instances of nudity/revealing dress in a way that is safe, consent-based, and repeatable. 

Why should you hire an Intimacy Director/Coordinator? 

  • The use of intimacy directors and coordinators is quickly becoming the industry standard.
  • You get the expertise of someone who is trained in physical and emotional storytelling. 
  • It provides actors and artists with practical tools to create compelling storytelling in environments that are physically and emotionally safe.
  • It frees theatre artists from having to share their own intimate personal experiences.
  • It prevents putting artists on the spot for knowledge or vocabulary gaps.
  • It’s automatically inclusive of trans, queer, and non-binary artists and stories.
  • It prevents creating an atmosphere of sexual abuse and/or harassment​.
