IDC Communication & Consent Practices 2

Question 1

When an actor hesitates but does not verbally object during an intimacy rehearsal, what is the IDC-recommended response from the intimacy coordinator?

Accepted Answer

Pause immediately and check in with the actor using open-ended questions

Answer

Non-verbal cues of hesitation require an immediate pause and open-ended check-in, because consent must be active and ongoing, not assumed from silence.

Question 2

Which communication model best describes the IDC approach to negotiating intimacy choreography before filming?

Accepted Answer

Bilateral negotiation between actor and intimacy coordinator with director input

Answer

IDC practice centers on bilateral negotiation where both the actor and intimacy coordinator collaborate, with the director providing creative context.

Question 3

A 'boundary conversation' in IDC practice is BEST described as:

Accepted Answer

A structured pre-scene dialogue where actors articulate personal limits and comfort zones

Answer

A boundary conversation is a structured, coordinator-facilitated dialogue allowing actors to identify and communicate their personal limits before any intimacy work begins.

Question 4

In the context of IDC consent protocols, 'informed consent' specifically requires that actors:

Accepted Answer

Understand the full scope of choreography before agreeing to perform it

Answer

Informed consent means actors have complete, accurate information about what intimacy work entails before they agree, enabling a genuinely voluntary decision.

Question 5

When should an intimacy coordinator formally re-obtain consent from an actor?

Accepted Answer

Whenever the choreography changes significantly from what was previously agreed upon

Answer

Any significant change to agreed choreography voids prior consent, requiring a fresh consent conversation before proceeding.
