Intimacy Director
An Intimacy Director is a professional who ensures intimate scenes in theater are performed safely, respectfully, and with full consent. They work closely with actors to choreograph intimate moments, respecting physical boundaries while maintaining authenticity. Additionally, they serve as a liaison between the creative team and the cast, helping to bring the creative vision to life with both sensitivity and clarity.
Intimacy Coordinator
