IDC Communication & Consent Practices 5

Question 1

When a stunt coordinator and an intimacy coordinator are both involved in a scene combining combat and physical intimacy, best practice is:

Accepted Answer

Both coordinators collaborate and clearly delineate their respective areas of responsibility

Answer

When both disciplines overlap, collaborative co-leadership with clearly defined responsibilities ensures no area of actor safety is left unaddressed.

Question 2

An actor who previously consented to toplessness tells the coordinator they no longer consent on the day of filming. The correct response is:

Accepted Answer

Respect the withdrawal immediately and work with the director to find an alternative approach

Answer

Consent can be withdrawn at any time; the coordinator's role is to immediately honor that withdrawal and facilitate creative problem-solving with the director.

Question 3

In IDC communication frameworks, 'yes/no/maybe' lists are used primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Help actors identify and articulate their comfort levels across a spectrum of actions before rehearsals begin

Answer

Yes/no/maybe lists give actors a low-pressure framework to reflect on and communicate their comfort levels with specific actions before live negotiation begins.

Question 4

Which of the following best describes the intimacy coordinator's role relative to the director during consent conversations with actors?

Accepted Answer

Serve as a neutral facilitator who centers actor agency while supporting the director's needs

Answer

The intimacy coordinator is a neutral facilitator who ensures actors' agency is centered while helping directors achieve their creative goals within those boundaries.

Question 5

A production uses the term 'standard intimacy' in a contract without defining it. The IDC-recommended coordinator response is to:

Accepted Answer

Request that specific choreography details be explicitly defined before the actor signs or filming begins

Answer

Vague contractual language like 'standard intimacy' must be replaced with specific, explicit descriptions of choreography before any consent can be meaningfully given.
