Intimacy practice that protects the work.

Intimacy direction gives performers and creative teams a shared language for rehearsal and performance. We support scenes involving intimacy, nudity, simulated sex and emotionally demanding material with clarity, consent and imaginative craft.

Intimacy is not only about sex or romance. It is a gateway for connection, trust and risk-taking, and it deserves the same preparation as any other demanding moment in a production.

Our approach is collaborative and non-judgemental. We work alongside directors, performers, stage management and production teams from first conversation through to the final performance.

Rachel and Ruth are members of the Intimacy Practitioners Guild.

A safe, well-held room gives performers the freedom to do their most truthful work.

The work

From connection to challenging content.

  • Building convincing relationships and everyday physical warmth
  • Simulated intimacy and sex
  • Nudity and partial nudity, modesty garments and prosthetics
  • The illusion of non-consensual acts, staged with full consent and care
  • Trauma-informed rehearsal-room practice
  • Boundaries and consent sessions for companies and creative teams
How we support

A clear process from first conversation to final curtain.

Preparation

Script review, production conversations and clear agreements before rehearsal begins – including nudity riders and paperwork where relevant.

In the room

Consent-led choreography, boundaries, de-role practice and hands-on support – from a kiss to the illusion of non-consensual intercourse.

Through the run

Repeatable practice, documentation and ongoing support through changes, understudies, recasts and long runs.
