Kissing, nudity, and sex - Meet TV's skilled intimacy coordinator Ita O'Brien
Preserving the intimacy of an artist filming a rape depiction, setting up a sex scene with a virgin actor and identifying the limits each actor is comfortable with are all issues that O'Brien is regularly confronted with., goes along the lines:"He is going put his hand here, you put yours there and then you start the fellatio."
"We agree on a consent of touch and then a clear process by which we choreograph the intimate contact clearly. So it's just like dance." At the heart of her philosophy is consent, in an industry which has been rocked in recent years by sexual assault claims. Before then,"if an actor ever said 'no', they'd be a troublemaker, or a diva and they would certainly be worried about losing their job... that's absolutely what the situation was then", she recalled."I've had productions where I've been told not to speak to the director," she said.
"I know what it's like to shoot without an intimacy director -- the messy, embarrassing feeling for the crew, the internal devastation for the actor," she explained.
