'How I Learned to Become an Intimacy Coordinator'
June 9, 2025
The New Yorker
By Jennifer Wilson
"A woman in her early twenties named Grace had been a hair-and-makeup assistant; when, on set, she saw two preteen actresses having to kiss each other with their parents watching, she decided to become an advocate for less mortifying working conditions."
This is just a small glimpse into what my job entails and the kinds of thoughtful, detailed conversations I have with actors to ensure their comfort and consent.
"Grace asked Chantel, who was playing an actress, if she was O.K. appearing nude. Chantel shook her head. “O.K., what about the story of nudity?” Grace continued, referring to the use of strategically placed bedsheets. Other questions: “How do you feel about simulating an orgasm?” and “Do you have any allergies?” (If an actor has a shellfish allergy, say, the intimacy coördinator will insure that his co-star doesn’t have shrimp for lunch.) The intimacy coördinator then generates a nudity rider. “You can revoke your consent at any time, but then production has the right to use a body double,” Grace told Chantel. “Though the body double can’t do anything you didn’t agree to do in the original rider.”"
I first felt the need to become an intimacy coordinator when I watched twelve-year-old actresses share their first kiss on set, surrounded by a crew of 40 and their parents watching from a monitor. The lack of guidance in that moment made it clear how essential care, communication, and boundaries are in these vulnerable situations.
