Intimacy, nudity and simulated sex have been a BIG part of the most successful TV dramas this past decade.
BUT... with very few intimacy guidelines in place, historically - it's no wonder some actors have found themselves in questionable situations - both inside the audition room and on set.
Lizzy Talbot has been advocating for intimacy coordination on stage and screen since 2015. Today she works as an intimacy coordinator on some of the biggest shows out there - including recent smash hits The Witcher and Bridgerton for Netflix.
In this 90 MINUTE mastermind, Lizzy explains EXACTLY what an intimacy coordinator does, walks us through all current guidelines in place to keep actors safe, answers some insanely candid questions on simulated sex - and members of Act On This jump on camera for some 1-2-1 coaching too!
During the broadcast, we discuss:
- Lizzy's entry into the acting industry.
- Becoming an intimacy coordinator and what the job entails.
- The 3 main roles of an intimacy coordinator in TV.
- Intimacy NOT involving sex.
- Auditioning for an intimate scene and what to expect.
- Setting boundaries and making your negotiable and non-negotiable lists.
- Power dynamics and how to protect yourself from 'powerful others'.
