Learn about Intimacy Coordinating from Georgia Johnson, the Intimacy Coordinator for Emily in Paris, Karen Pirie & Silent Witness!

What the workshop will cover:
Reflecting progressive changes in film, television and theatre, the use of Intimacy Coordinators has become an industry norm. Yet, there remains a lack of awareness of what Intimacy Coordinators do and how they enrich working environments and improve the quality of the work.
This workshop aims to introduce the basic principles and practices utilised by ICs and demonstrates how their presence can elevate storytelling by fostering trust and collaboration. Workshop participants will learn how integrating ICs into their workflow can streamline production, reduce risk, and uphold industry standards, all while supporting the creative vision. Ideal for those wanting to create impactful, respectful, and empowered sets.

Who you'll be working with:
Georgia Johnson is an Intimacy Coordinator (Film & TV) & Intimacy Director (stage) based in the UK. Georgia trained at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Her education encompasses the research, theory, and practice of intimacy coordination i.e., body-centred and consent-based practices, choreography techniques, documentation, and modesty garments.
Georgia's work is informed by her own actor training and work and prior professional experience in the mental health field. Her approach is trauma-informed, person-centric and carefully considered, focusing on the well-being and comfort of performers. Georgia approaches the work with curiosity, sensitivity and creativity; her problem-solving attitude enabling her to build strong connections with performers and HOD's.
Georgia is inspired by experimental and independent stories that challenge the status quo. She's interested in the development of intimacy and how it relates to the transpersonal nature of consciousness.
