When You Need Intimacy Coordinators:

• To aid in story-telling scenes of intimacy – a structured approach to creating physical story-telling of sexual and non-sexual intimacy
• Policy support – creating and implementing riders where nudity or partial nudity exist
• When an actors feels they need support with psychological or challenging material
• When working with minors and sensitive or high emotional material
• If an actor feels they need a bystander
• If a director feels they need support communicating sensitive material to actors
• To liaison between departments regarding intimate scenes IE: wardrobe fittings, conversations about riders and scenes that display simulated sex, nudity or violence
