SAG-AFTRA, as part of its efforts to create a safer work environment for actors performing in scenes involving nudity, simulated sex and other intimate scenes, has released a list of qualified and experienced intimacy coordinators.The list includes the names and contact information for 40 intimacy coordinators from the United States, the UK, Canada and Australia who have met the union’s recommended standards for qualifications, vetting and training — and who have a minimum of 60 days of experience — as well as the names of five others who have proof of training and at least 25 days of experience.See the list here.SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher said:“As we, at long last, move into a time where a performer’s personal space matters, a new field has emerged: intimacy coordinators.
