Praktyczne doświadczenie pracy z intymnością w filmie. Perspektywa aktorki

The article presents an excerpt from a master’s thesis entitled ‘Intimacy in the acting profession. Methods of safe working in the light of the growing use of intimacy coordination’ and is an attempt at describing and analysing the author’s experience of working with intimate content in her practice to date, using the example of working on the lead role of Rita in the short film ‘These Damn Peonies’ telling the story of a young woman searching for her orgasm. An intimacy coordinator was not hired for this project, and there were difficult situations for the author, but also for the entire production team, during the filming of the numerous intimate scenes. The author describes the individual shooting days and reflects on how specific issues of working with intimacy should be resolved based on foreign literature on the subject and on techniques learned in workshops with intimacy coordinator Vanessa Coffey, one of the founders of The Intimacy Practitioners’ Guild EU/UK.
