Have you ever been so drawn into a powerful, physical scene in a movie or on the stage and wondered “how did they DO that?” We are not just talking about the sex scenes, although they can be provocative for sure but poignant domestic disputes, racially charged interactions and more. All of these types of depictions of real life actions require respect, patience, understanding and compassion. And for the women participating in these roles, it has long been an expectation that they would simply perform as they are directed, without question.
The #metoo movement reminded women that they are entitled to have a voice and to feel safe everywhere and in every work environment. While Intimacy Directors and Intimacy Coordinators have been in existence in some form, for some time, their roles have grown and evolved dramatically since 2018. Today we are excited to introduce you to one of Canada’s 5 existing Intimacy Coordinators (the only one in Winnipeg) and Canada’s very own, Sharon Bajer.
