EFE: Ita O’Brien, intimacy coordinator: intimate scenes need planned and agreed choreography

Madrid (EFE).- Ita O’Brien began dancing on stage at the age of ten and is now an Intimacy Coordinator for shows such as the opera Theodora, which opens this Friday at the Teatro Real: “Without a clear choreography, it is more difficult to report that someone has shoved their tongue down your throat,” she stresses.
The British actress is the first expert in the field to attend the Madrid theatre for the performance of Handel’s staged oratorio about a Christian martyr forced into prostitution from 11 to 23 November, but according to sources at the Teatro Real she will not be the last, as it is planned to hire this type of advice in the future whenever it is considered necessary.
