In this episode Anne chats with Siobhan Richardson, an actor, fight director, and intimacy director in Toronto Ontario. This episode covers the basics of intimacy directing, and the difference between the language of intimacy directing and coaching. We talk about what "comfortable" means in the dramatic arts, exploring discomfort and vulnerability as an actor, and the importance of bringing in an intimacy director. We also talk about the "brave yes", exploring boundaries, and consent in scene work.
