Intimacy Choreography or Intimacy Direction is the creative and technical process that crafts moments of physical and emotional intimacy, nudity, and depictions of sexual violence for live performances. In addition to sexual content, intimacy approaches moments that engage with themes of race, disability, religion, or age with cultural sensitivity and competency.

Whether it’s a kiss or a multi-partner scene, thoughtfully choreographed intimacy ensures that the production team—directors, choreographers, and actors—are equipped with effective techniques to focus on their primary goal: telling compelling and impactful stories.
