INTIMACY COORDINATION
The first time I came across the role of the Intimacy Coordinator, I had a very clear feeling: this is exactly where I belong.
As a certified Intimacy Coordinator in training with CINTIMA, currently in mentorship with Yehuda Duenyas, I approach intimacy work with both artistic sensitivity and structural awareness.
For me, intimacy coordination is not an add-on to a production. It is essential to contemporary storytelling.
What is an Intimacy Coordinator?
An Intimacy Coordinator serves as a liaison between actors and production, ensuring that scenes involving nudity, simulated sex, or heightened physical exposure are created safely, consensually, and with creative integrity. The role combines choreography, movement direction, advocacy, and clear communication, protecting performers’ autonomy while supporting the director’s vision. It acts as a counterbalance to the power dynamics that often exist on set, creating a respectful environment that enables true creative collaboration.
How I Work
With my background as a director, actress, dancer, choreographer, author and DOP, I understand the filmmaking process from multiple perspectives. I am deeply familiar with the rhythms of production, from development to post-production, and with the pressure and hierarchies under which intimate scenes are often created.
I bring strong physical awareness and a precise understanding of movement. I am attuned to body language, boundaries, and non-verbal communication, allowing me to choreograph intimate scenes with clarity and specificity, creating structure where ambiguity could otherwise lead to discomfort.
My Approach & Values
My artistic work has long explored the intersection of physicality, female sexuality, and socio-political contexts. I approach intimacy with openness, sex-positivity, and a strong awareness of power dynamics. Issues such as sexism, racism, queer rights, and discrimination are not abstract topics to me, they are realities that shape experiences on set. An intimacy coordinator must recognize these dynamics and actively work to create a respectful and inclusive working environment.
Why it Matters
For me, this work goes beyond a professional qualification. It is a cultural commitment. The role of the intimacy coordinator signals the beginning of a necessary cultural shift within the film industry. We are moving away from an environment where unspoken pressure and power imbalances often leave actors vulnerable, towards a more sex-positive, power-conscious mindset that actively prevents trauma, and sexual abuse, while fostering transparency, consent, autonomy, creativity, artistic freedom and creative empowerment.
This is a cause I am deeply passionate about, and I am dedicated to using my skills and experience to drive this change, protecting the dignity and agency of performers while supporting directors in realizing their artistic vision with clarity and authenticity. Safety and creativity are not opposites. They strengthen one another, allowing work to be bold, truthful, and fearless. This shift is not a trend. It is overdue. I am committed to contributing to this transformation with clarity, courage, and responsibility.
