IDC Safety Protocols & Risk Management 2

Question 1

An actor discloses a trauma history related to the scene's content during a pre-production intimacy meeting. What is the intimacy coordinator's FIRST responsibility?

Accepted Answer

Acknowledge the disclosure, thank the actor for sharing, and collaboratively assess whether modifications are needed

Answer

The IC must first honor the actor's trust by acknowledging the disclosure and working collaboratively to assess impact and determine accommodations.

Question 2

What does 'stunt intimacy' refer to in the context of intimacy coordination?

Accepted Answer

Any physical contact on set that simulates intimacy but is planned and rehearsed like a stunt

Answer

Stunt intimacy treats choreographed intimate contact with the same rigor and planning as physical stunt work, including risk assessment and rehearsal.

Question 3

During filming, a crew member makes an inappropriate joke about the intimate scene being filmed. How should the intimacy coordinator respond?

Accepted Answer

Immediately address the behavior and remind the crew of the professional environment standards

Answer

The IC is responsible for maintaining a safe and professional set environment and should address unprofessional behavior immediately to protect the performers.

Question 4

Which principle best describes why intimacy coordinators use 'framing language' when presenting actor boundaries to directors?

Accepted Answer

To depersonalize the limit so it is understood as a professional boundary, not a personal attack

Answer

Framing language presents boundaries as professional parameters rather than personal objections, preserving collaborative relationships and reducing power-dynamic pressure.

Question 5

A production asks an intimacy coordinator to be present only for 'major' intimate scenes and not for scenes with kissing. What is the appropriate response?

Accepted Answer

Advocate for oversight of all intimate content, including kissing, as part of a comprehensive safety approach

Answer

All intimate contact, regardless of perceived intensity, warrants professional oversight to ensure consent and safety protocols are consistently applied.
