What is an Intimacy Director?
As an Intimacy Director, I'm the person who choreographs the moments of intimacy within the production. My job is to help bring the Director's vision to life while working within the boundaries set by all the Actors involved.
I like to meet with the Director prior to taking on any job to review the production, their vision, and determine my involvement. During my first rehearsal I like to take the Actors through a series exercises to explore their individual boundaries.
A note I like Directors and Actors to be aware of - boundaries are fluid and can change at any time. Boundaries for one particular scene can be different for another. As an Intimacy Director I give the Actors placeholders to help them be able to rehearse the moments of intimacy until tech week and the performances.
