Join IC en Scene's Intimacy Coordinators for a Conversation with a Panel of Experts Ready to Answer Your Questions About On-Set Intimacy During a Pandemic
People are taking Intimacy Coordination seriously. That said we are not the intimacy police. We are choreographers. . .I still am an artist and it allows me to be an artist, and to help people.”
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Intimacy en Scene’s lead choreographers Nedra Gallegos and Asha Mollier will be joining a panel of experts this Friday, August 20th to discuss Covid-19’s impact on the depiction of intimacy in film, theatre and photography.— Nedra Gallegos
Los Angeles based theatre professor Nedra Gallegos explores themes of consent while educating the cast and crew on the best practices for safe productions. “The end result is that we serve the play. We serve the script. That love scene should continue telling the story. Whatever that story is, it needs to fit in there. It should not be “oh it’s sex, it should be separate.” The character development, the character dynamic is still in that arc.”
Intimacy Coordination is a natural fit for expert fundraiser and actress, Asha Mollier, who splits her time between Los Angeles, Mexico, New York and Denmark. Her experience as a former fashion model inspires her to empower the next generation of performers. “Now, I would like to bring Intimacy Coordination to the fashion industry. Where I could be the 3rd party person at the shoot or the modeling agency…I always joke we are “den mothers”. We are the person everyone comes to if there’s an issue, if they don’t feel comfortable. It’s a small facet of the business but it’s important. It’s important especially if there are minors. They have to have a safe place to go.”
NC WiFT (North Carolina Women in Film & Television), a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for gender parity and advancing the careers of women working in all areas of film, video, and other screen-based media, will be hosting the panel.
