WHO IS THIS FOR? 

This workshop is aimed at Actors 18+ with some professional experience, looking to get a better understanding and insight into the role of an Intimacy Coordinator and how, in the event of one not being available or present on your shoot, you can guide those who could benefit to make the shooting as safe and creative as possible.

Please note this Masterclass would not equip anyone with enough training or qualifications to work as an IC.
