Intimacy Coordinator for screen and stage
Hello, I'm an Intimacy Coordinator
Hello! My name is Lidia, and I am one of the first Italian Intimacy Coordinators trained for international certification. I am primarily active in Italy and the United Kingdom, where I work with safe and creative practices for cinema, television and the performing arts.
What is an Intimacy Coordinator?
An Intimacy Coordinator is a professional who oversees the sensitive aspects of a film, such as nudity, sex scenes, or violence. They work closely with the director and actors to choreograph intimate scenes and ensure a safe, comfortable, and peaceful working environment.

Testimonials
Eye for detail
Lidia has a keen eye for detail and goes out of her way to ensure that everyone on set feels comfortable. I had the pleasure of working with her on my first short fiction film, and the results we achieved both on set and in preparing the scenes are fantastic. Lidia made the whole process easy and enjoyable.
Care and inspiration
Lidia provided me with competent and empathetic guidance in executing some delicate scenes. She focused on building an intimate relationship between my colleague and me, which enabled us to work peacefully and with pleasure in discovering what was happening. She was a caring and inspiring presence both during the analysis of the scenes and in helping me follow the executive and interpretative path.
Atmosphere and comfort
I worked with an intimacy coordinator on this new project and she was so amazing. She wasn’t policing anything, she wasn’t interested in that. She was more like part-sexual therapist, just providing an atmosphere on set that is conducive to sexuality, where everyone is comfortable. [Interview Magazine]
