Working with an Intimacy Professional - A Talk for Actors

What’s it like to work with an intimacy professional - and why does it matter?

Join us for this introductory talk, presented by the BA (Hons) Acting programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, designed to give actors an insight into what the intimacy coordination process looks like from a performer’s perspective.

Led by Singapore’s first certified intimacy coordinator Rayann Condy, this session introduces the role of the intimacy professional, and the typical process an actor goes through when one is engaged, whether on a theatre, TV, or film project.

What we'll cover:

• What intimacy means in performance - and why it matters
• Why intimacy professionals are important (but still rare)
• What actors can expect from the intimacy process when an intimacy coordinator is engaged on a project

This session is hosted by The Actors' Society, as part of our ongoing advocacy for safer, fairer working conditions in Singapore's media and arts industry. It also serves as a pilot for longer-format training in future, where actors can dive deeper into the tools and frameworks for navigating intimacy on set and on stage.
