The Role of Intimacy Coordinators in Theatre and Film

The article aims to discuss the importance of coordinators in both theatre performances and film projects, focusing on what they must consider in order to provide the actor with the most suitable work climate, as well as the actor’s reluctance to adapt to change. The art of acting, by its very nature, requires the actor to access very personal feelings and emotions, which makes them unable to eliminate the stress caused by the problems which arise during role preparation. Recent social changes cannot but affect the actor’s work process, and the essay explores how these nuances are reflected in the discourse of producers – those ultimately held accountable if something goes wrong in a project. The essay draws a parallel between how Western Europe accepts sexuality and how different things are in Romania. The specific language of theatre is different from that of cinema, and this essay aims to offer a transposition of both.
