INTIMACY COACH TATY

As a costume designer for theatre and film for many years, before the time of Intimacy Coordinators, I often found myself playing the part of actor liaison on set. During intimate scenes, actors leaned on the costume and makeup teams to confide in -they spend a lot of time with us and there always seems to be a deeper level of trust in the dressing room. Instinctually, I found myself advocating for the actors on set - making sure they felt safe and gave enthusiastic and continued consent, providing modesty garments as well as robes and cover-ups in between takes, using my background in stage fighting to help choreograph movements that looked real for the audience and felt comfortable for the players.
