Review | Theatre Haus
Everyone is navigating intimacy in new ways , but 'time is money' will always be a thing.
Time is of the essence on any production. Through well-structured intimacy coordination, intimate scenes are created efficiently with creative integrity intact. Clear communication and risk-aware collaboration support both performers and the wider production team, reducing delays, minimising reshoots, and maintaining continuity.
Performer boundaries—and the needs of the crew—are established from the outset, whilst the vision and intent are fully supported. The result is a smooth, on-schedule production that upholds the highest standards of professional intimacy coordination.
From make out sessions to handling the tiniest of little humans ... I've got the touchy feely stuff sorted!
