The role of Intimacy Coordinator (IC) has been maturing in the arena of mainstream cinema and theatre, but pornography has been excluded. This role was created to ensure the professional treatment of people involved in the production of intimate scenes. In porn, we work with people, and they deserve respect, professionalism and a safe work environment. The role of an IC is the missing part that can help porn to become a better working space.
Some of the topics this workshop will cover are:
Why do we need intimacy coordinators on adult media sets? What does this role look like regarding the creation and production of pornographic materials? And why do sex workers have the potential to become great intimacy coordinators?
