In the service of art and the humans behind it

Does your project involve nudity, simulated sex or hyper-exposed content and you want to keep your performers safe?

I am the liaison between the boundaries of your performers and the artistic needs of your production in pre-production, on set and in post-production. Together we will find the best ways to tell your story and facilitate the shooting process.

I develop closed set protocols, ensure consent of performers, advise on nudity and simulated sex riders, ensure credibility and safety of the scene with specialized choreographic tools, provide appropriate intimacy garments and barrier props, advise on closure practices and communicate with the crew regarding potentially trauma reactivating scenes.

Are you currently in the writing stage and would like to explore the narrative potential of your scenes of intimacy to the fullest ?

I offer to consult on your scenes of intimacy, nudity and/or simulated sex to help you clarify the intentions of each beat and explore their possibilities.

Would you like to prevent your work from reproducing gender or sexuality oppressions despite your best efforts? I can advise you as a sensitivity reader on issues of gender and sexuality representations.

Your project involves intimate content and you are aware of the great vulnerability that this imposes on the performers during the audition process?

I support you in crafting audition notices and setting up protocols to protect artists during auditions.

You want to work on your scenes of intimacy with the performers so that they are as realistic as possible, and make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible on the day?

I offer character intimacy building exercises, specific choreography tools that ensure scene credibility and performer safety, and a narrative movement focus to best serve your characters' story.

You have shot intimate content and are aware of the risks associated with processing these images? Together we can develop a sensitive data protocol for your post-production process.

Need to record the sound of simulated sex scenes in ADR? The same principles of intimacy coordination apply to the recording of intimate content in post, with special attention given to breath choreography.

Is the theme of your documentary project sensitive and/or reactivating for your subjects and would you like to be proactive in your practice of consent ?

I can support you by coordinating consent throughout your project with consent based tools and a trauma informed practice.

This support is crucial in documentary filmamking where the ongoing practice of consent contributes to the empowerment of subjects, thereby mitigating the risk of exploitation.

Want to make your creative process safer but don't know where to start?

I can guide your production as a consultant.

Is your school, festival or organisation interested in the questions raised by intimacy coordination and would like to know more about its tools and applications?
