From the beautifully vulnerable relationship in Normal People, to the confronting exploration of consent in I May Destroy You, to the frank honesty of sex education.
Eda O'Brien is an intimacy coordinator.
Like a stunt coordinator who choreographs fight scenes, Eda choreographs the intimate scenes we see in movies and TV shows.
She also pioneered the field and created the intimacy on set guidelines where previously there were none.
Today, her work has helped reshape the way the world's biggest film and television productions approach intimacy.
But I think what fascinates us for this conversation, Ida, isn't just what you've taught actors, but it might actually be what you've learned from your work professionally, how it relates to us in our relationships, intimacy, sex and connection.
So yeah, we're very excited.
So well said.
Yep.
So before we get right into it today, what's your definition of intimacy?
And also, how do you describe the role of an intimacy coordinator?
I feel like for many years when you'd see a sex scene on TV, I'd often think, how is that?
Have they just said to them, okay, just pretend to have sex and we'll all stand around watching and we'll film you do that?
What a ridiculously vulnerable thing that is for someone to do.
um no but i i bet my question for you is when you first started doing this work i've just i'm so curious to know the first set you're on and you're there this is a completely new role so there's directors who have not worked with someone like you before it's not a job you're coming in and you're saying okay so this scene i'm actually going to talk to the actors about consent and what this is going to look and feel like what they're comfortable with
Was it a really tough scenario to be in or was everyone open to this is what it should be like?
That's a really nice description of why it matters to get it right for the people involved in the TV show or the film that you're working on.
Why do the intimate scenes we see on our screen matter for us as the viewers?
Why does it matter for us watching at home?
Can we go through that now?
