IF explains: Intimacy coordination

Employing an intimacy coordinator to guide scenes that contain sex or nudity has quickly become standard practice in Australia. However, given ICs are still relatively new, there are misconceptions about the role. ICs are not “white knights” or policemen, and their role is often creative. Jackie Keast reports.

Actress Madeleine Magee Carr has performed intimate scenes both with and without intimacy coordinators, describing the difference between each situation as “chalk and cheese”.
