About

A consent-led approach to intimacy in stage and screen performance

Learn how intimacy is designed, communicated, and held in performance through this practical, consent-led course for stage and screen creatives. Principles of Intimacy explores how intimate moments are created safely, collaboratively, and with care across rehearsal rooms and sets.

Designed for performers, directors, choreographers, educators, stage managers, and screen practitioners, as well as those interested in pursuing future work as intimacy directors or coordinators, this course offers a trauma-informed framework for navigating intimacy with clarity, professionalism, and shared responsibility.

Through practical exercises, discussion, and industry-informed approaches, participants will explore:

• The role intimacy plays within stage and screen processes and how to identify when an intimacy professional is needed
• Consent, boundaries, and clear communication tools that support ethical rehearsal and performance practice
• Risk assessment and safety considerations for intimate, physical, or emotionally charged work
• Approaches to intimacy choreography and physical storytelling that are specific, repeatable, and adaptable
• Current industry standards including modesty garments, documentation, and closed-set practices

An optional assessment is available for participants who wish to consolidate their learning. Completion of the assessment provides a certificate acknowledging training hours and the content covered, suitable for professional development records and portfolios.

Whether creating, supporting, or teaching performance, or exploring pathways into intimacy coordination and direction, this course equips participants with practical tools and shared language to foster safer, consent-led creative environments.
