S3E8: Intimacy Coordination in Film and What It Teaches Us About Boundaries with Rayann Condy


Listen Later

Ever wondered who ensures those steamy (or awkward) on-screen moments don’t turn into a total nightmare for actors? Meet Rayann, an intimacy coordinator, director, and casting pro with 25 years in the arts, who's on a mission to change how Singapore and Southeast Asia handle intimacy on screen.

From tackling cultural taboos to applying consent and boundaries beyond film, think relationships, parenting, even the workplace, Rayann breaks it all down. If you've ever cringed at a badly done love scene or wondered how to teach kids about personal space without making it weird, this one's for you.

Tune in, because intimacy isn’t just about romance, it’s about how we connect with everyone.
