The thing that’s rough about reading this is that you can tell how right he thinks he is — he’s gotten this far in a decorated career taking it for granted that nobody can tell an actor where to touch someone in a a love scene.https://twitter.com/THR/status/1522334403451621377 …
This falls apart so easily — people tell you exactly what to do when you’re an actor all the time! I am far from the first person to compare it to fight choreography: Imagine believing if you were scripted to punch someone, you needed the freedom to knee him in the balls.
But it also is such a good demonstration of what intimacy coordinators can bring to the table! They are exactly there to make it like anything else: planned, scripted, limited and understood and agreed to by everyone.
The very act of resisting the intimacy coordinator’s role suggests a lack of understanding of how behavior during love scenes can affect other people. It almost suggests that it is natural not to be able to control yourself during these scenes.
Because where else would an actor say it’s not reasonable to block a scene? To say “slap him on the back” or “don’t slap him on the back”? These scenes do not especially rely on spontaneity.
But as I said, the very attitude on display in that piece is so indicative of how hard these things are to change and how important developments like intimacy coordinators are. The person in that job introduces authority, and doesn’t put the responsibility on the other actor.
When you make this someone’s job, you respect the professionalism of this kind of work. You’re not wrecking it, you’re elevating it to the same respect you give stunt work or lighting. /fin
He, as the actor, thinks he has agency not afforded his scene partner
What is also interesting is the stark contrast between his reaction & B*ll Murr*y who appears to want to grow & said he doesn't want to be someone who doesn't learn. Now, if he means this or not time will tell (plus past behavior notwithstanding), still a willingness to listen.
I was definitely heartened by the number of comments on the original article likening it to fight scenes.
It's a false comparison. It's not a fight scene... the creative process and acting is not a one size fits all situation.
