Intimacy Coordinator Reveals How Sex Scenes Are Staged and How Actors Are Protected!\xa0From\xa0Basic Instinct\xa0to\xa0Call Me by Your Name, Coming Home\xa0to\xa0Fifty Shades of Grey, P-Valley\xa0to\xa0Outlander, sex scenes play a vital role in movies, TV shows, and plays spanning genres and subjects. Yet, as dramas and comedies increasingly reflect the reality of diversity, depicting acts of intimacy in a way that's genuine, affecting, free from entrenched stereotypes, and respectful to audiences and actors is a challenge.\xa0In\xa0The Intimacy Coordinator's Guidebook: Specialties for Stage and Screen\xa0(Routledge; April 1, 2024; Original Trade Paperback; ISBN: 978\u20111\u2011032\u201153147\u20112), Brooke M. Haney reveals how intimacy coordinators use their cultural competencies and specialties in practice to create the most compelling storytelling.\xa0As Haney stresses, the job requires competency in the language of choreography - every move performed for the camera or a live audience, from a passionate kiss to a chilling assault, is meticulously choreographed, just like a dance or a fight scene - along with training in tools like modesty garments and props. In addition, an intimacy coordinator must possess excellent communication skills and the ability to read situations and respond proactively. What's more, every intimacy coordinator must find their unique lens. (For instance, some coordinators are specialists in bondage, whereas others are specialists working with minors.)\xa0The book features other intimacy coordinators' stories. It includes conversations with Olivia Luccardi (a producer and actress who played Melissa in\xa0The Deuce, the first television show to employ an intimacy coordinator), Tai Leshaun (a Black actress in\xa0Thunder Force\xa0and\xa0The Other Black Girl), Becca Blackwell (a trans actor, performer and writer), Jimmy Smits (an Emmy Award-winning Latino actor known for roles in TV dramas from\xa0NYPD Blue\xa0to\xa0Sons of Anarchy) and other Hollywood insiders who have worked on projects involving intimacy.
