Lily Janiak talks with intimacy choreographer Maya Herbsman. Intimacy choreography is a new name and discrete position for a longstanding job that historically fell to actors or director — how to stage sexually or otherwise intimate scenes in a way that serves the show while also keeping the performers safe. We talk about her work in Cutting Ball’s “The Bald Soprano,” running June 5-16.

Produced by Lily Janiak. Music by Steven Boyle.
