IDC Safety Protocols & Risk Management 3

Question 1

What is the 'three R's' framework sometimes referenced in intimacy coordination?

Accepted Answer

Rights, Respect, Responsibility

Answer

Rights, Respect, and Responsibility form a foundational ethical framework guiding how intimacy coordinators approach performer safety and set culture.

Question 2

An actor is cast as a replacement three days before filming an intimate scene. What modified protocol should the intimacy coordinator prioritize?

Accepted Answer

Conduct an expedited but thorough intimacy consultation, establish limits, and adapt choreography before filming

Answer

Even under time pressure, the IC must conduct proper consent and limits discussions and adapt choreography—safety procedures cannot be skipped for new cast members.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes the purpose of 'pillar' language in intimacy choreography notes?

Accepted Answer

Using neutral, anatomically precise language to clearly describe physical choreography without ambiguity

Answer

Pillar language uses clear, neutral, anatomically accurate terms to describe choreography so all parties have an unambiguous shared understanding of what is planned.

Question 4

A production company asks the intimacy coordinator to also serve as an on-set therapist for distressed performers. Why should the IC decline this dual role?

Accepted Answer

Conflating the IC role with therapy undermines both functions and may harm performers by blurring professional boundaries

Answer

The IC role includes pastoral support but must not be conflated with clinical therapy, as doing so harms performers and compromises the IC's professional effectiveness.

Question 5

What risk does 'scope creep' present in an intimacy coordinator's engagement?

Accepted Answer

Gradually expanding responsibilities without proper negotiation can compromise the IC's ability to maintain appropriate focus on performer safety

Answer

Scope creep dilutes the IC's focused attention on safety and consent by adding responsibilities that were not part of the original engagement agreement.
