Increase Creativity through Safety with Pia Rickman

We are excited to welcome Pia Rickman to our Online Hangouts to speak about the work of an Intimacy Coordinator in the audiovisual industries. In this session, we’ll discuss

1. Who are intimacy coordinators and what do they do
2. Common challenges working with intimacy and what does collaboration between the departments look like
3. Available resources & intimacy guidelines
4. When and how to find an intimacy coordinator

“Intimacy is individual and, therefore, we can never guarantee safety, but we can aim to remove obstacles to safety by creating a culture of consent while embracing accountability at all levels when working with intimate content in Film, TV and Live Performance.”

 

The meeting will take place on APRIL 24th from 16h to 17h Central European Summer Time
