The Intimacy Coordinator's Guidebook:
Specialties for Stage and Screen

9781032531465.jpg

The Intimacy Coordinator's Guidebook: Specialties for Stage and Screen will be published early 2024 by Routledge Publishing.It is the first book on advanced intimacy choreography for theatre, film and television.

 

Just as one would not expect every stunt coordinator to be an expert at rigging, water and scenes of fire, intimacy coordinators, at an advanced level, also have specialties. The book addresses scope of practice, competencies, finding your lens, specialities,  qualifications and hopes for the future.

 

I wrote several chapters (and edited the book), and have included chapters written by fellow industry professionals. Between chapters is a conversation with an actor, director or producer on their experiences working with an intimacy coordinator. I cannot wait for you to read it.​
