Consent & Intimacy Consultation
Let's make things less awkard
Just as a fight director ensures the physical and psychological safety of artists using violence. Intimacy Coordinators (IC's) do the same for scenes of an intimate nature that include touch, kissing,nudity, or where scenes of power inequities and/or intimidation are present.
Consent is not gaining permission...it is coming to an agreement. Consent forward practice Gaining permission before it's needed. Consent to touch Gaining clarity on the exact location and way touch is acceptable to a scene partner Consent v's Coercive control Freely Given - not via implied or direct threats or intimidation Reversible - You can withdraw without fear of retribution Informed - You know what is being asked of you Enthusiastically provided - not a maybe or with hesitation Safe for you to participate in physically and psychologically
