Workshops

Bringing actors closer to intimacy coordination practices

It's Intimacy Coordination recognises the importance of feeling safe and respected while performing intimate scenes. To address this, we have developed a series of workshops that bring actors closer to intimacy coordination practices.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Workshop participants learning consent and boundary practices

Introducing Intimacy to Actors

In this workshop, students will gain an understanding of the role and responsibilities of intimacy coordinators, as well as essential guidelines for actors regarding intimate scenes. Topics covered will include the consent framework FRIES and the importance of setting boundaries. In the second part of the session, participants will engage in exercises to establish safe areas of contact and have the opportunity to do scene work. They can choose from a selection of scenes that range from no physical contact to scenes involving touch and kissing, allowing them to work within their comfort levels.
