IDC Boundary Setting & Advocacy 4

Question 1

Which principle underpins the idea that consent to a specific act in one scene does not automatically extend to similar acts in other scenes?

Accepted Answer

Scene-specific consent

Answer

Scene-specific consent means each scene, day, or iteration of choreography requires its own consent check, regardless of prior agreements.

Question 2

An IC is working on a production where one actor is significantly more senior than their co-star. What additional boundary-setting consideration is most important?

Accepted Answer

Conducting separate check-ins with each actor to ensure the junior performer feels empowered to voice limits without social pressure

Answer

Power differentials can inhibit junior performers from voicing limits, so separate check-ins protect their ability to consent freely without social hierarchy influencing their answers.

Question 3

What does the IDC mean by 'checking in above and below the line'?

Accepted Answer

Assessing performer comfort both physically and emotionally during check-ins

Answer

Checking in above and below the line refers to assessing both the emotional/psychological and physical dimensions of a performer's readiness and comfort.

Question 4

A performer freezes during an intimate scene and stops responding. The IC should first:

Accepted Answer

Immediately call a stop to the scene and attend to the performer's wellbeing

Answer

A freeze response is a recognized trauma reaction; the IC must immediately halt filming and prioritize the performer's wellbeing over production continuity.

Question 5

Which of the following is a key reason why intimacy coordinators maintain confidentiality about performers' disclosed boundaries and personal history?

Accepted Answer

To protect performers from stigma, retaliation, or exploitation of their vulnerabilities

Answer

Confidentiality protects performers from having personal disclosures used against them in casting, reputation, or power dynamics, maintaining the trust that makes honest boundary-setting possible.
