We need intimacy coordinators in India because I feel it’s a good way to establish consent culture in the entertainment industry.”ĭirector Shakun Batra, noted for helming Kapoor & Sons, actively subscribes to the need for an intimacy coordinator on set. Web series allow for less censorship, and this makes actors more vulnerable to traumatic experiences. It’s about informing the performers’ bodies how to interact with each other: How would their bodies respond to another? And, I also coordinate between the director and actor. Intimacy coordinator Neha Vyas, 35, explains the nature of her work: “I coach actors before an intimate scene to help shed their inhibitions, and to choreograph their movements more aesthetically.

The environment is ripe today for the emergence of a new breed of film professionals: intimacy directors and coordinators.

Traditionally, all matters sexual are freighted with societal conditioning and personal reservations, and this remains a truism even though the cinematic envelope has been pushed. Emboldened actors and content creators, especially on OTT platforms, have enthusiastically adopted a more modern attitude towards on-screen sensuality.
No longer does the camera segue to two roses rubbing against each other to suggest intimacy. The winds of change are blowing over the entertainment world at gale force.
