Intimacy coordination is the professional practice of supporting productions by creating safe, respectful, and consent-based environments for scenes involving intimacy, nudity, simulated sex, or other vulnerable content in film and television.

An intimacy coordinator works collaboratively with actors, directors, producers, and crew to help ensure performer safety, clear communication, and maintain professional standards throughout the production process. The role also supports productions by operating within legal and ethical practices while maintaining respect for performer boundaries, consent, and workplace safety.

Depending on the needs of the production, intimacy coordination may also include the choreography and coordination of intimate and emotionally charged scenes to support both storytelling and performer comfort.
