We all have professional boundaries - things we feel uncomfortable or unsafe doing for a variety of reasons. Giving some thought to scenarios that might frequently or reasonably occur before they happen can help you hold those boundaries for yourself more easily! What are some boundaries that you have? Comment below! “I remember people warning me early on in my career that centering queerness in my professional life would be limiting, but I've found that by being open about who I am, opportunities have come to me that are actually in line with my values and who I am as a person. It has enabled me to work on productions that value me specifically for my queerness and embrace all of my identities as a disabled nonbinary individual. And I find it lifesaving - literally.” - Acacia.gay Is Manifesting Diversity Through Authenticity Last Fall I was blessed to return back home to Vassar College to teach multiple workshops on consensually staging intimacy. It was my first time teaching in person since COVID and it felt both comforting and thrilling that it should happen in the very space I learned in! What is your favorite candy? Comment below! Last year I got the chance to collaborate with the brilliant photographer @jainasphotography on a nude photo shoot as part of a larger series they are working on. It was so therapeutic to move and play in their studio @letlightfindyou using different props. For me, it became an exploration of my trans experience and me relationship with my body and identity. As a trans/enby person, navigating on-set days - especially with productions where I haven’t worked with anyone before - can be very difficult. People clock me as a cis woman when I’m actually genderqueer and use fae/faer or they/them pronouns! Making these simple adjustments to your production would make my life, and the lives of other gender diverse individuals so much easier. Take a look and share with your coworkers! I believe one of the major threats to cast and crew safety when working on scenes of intimacy is actually filmmakers remaining uneducated on what qualifications to look for in an intimacy coordinator. I can’t tell you how many directors, producers, writers, and actors I’ve spoken to that have no idea what ask in an interview! Typically because they’ve never worked with an IC before and are unclear on exactly what it is we do. Unfortunately, this can lead to productions hiring anyone they know to fill the position instead of looking for someone with the proper training or life experience. Safely working on scenes of intimacy requires a lot of different skills though, including: One more thing to consider when budgeting for a scene of intimacy is additional payment for actors. A general rule of thumb is to at least give time and a half billed by the half hour when filming intimacy or nudity.
