Ita O’Brien is a British movement director and intimacy director for film, TV, and theatre. She teaches in some of Britain's premier acting schools, has published research, and devises her own work. She is currently leading a campaign to introduce best practice in working with scenes of sexual content,[1][2] - the Sex Scenes On Set Guidelines.
Movement credits include Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams (2017), Derren Brown's Ghost Train (2017) Series 2 of Humans (2016), The Girl With All The Gifts (2016) and many theatre productions.
Sex Scenes on Set
For the last four years, O'Brien has been developing best practice when working with intimacy, scenes with sexual content, and nudity in film, TV, and theatre[3]. In the absence of any industry-wide guidelines or accepted process, she has now developed draft guidelines for intimacy, simulated sex scenes and nudity.
There was brief controversy when, on the BAFTA red Carpet in 2018, Andy Serkis likened the idea of guidelines to censorship[4]. However, O'Brien says ‘These guidelines are not a constraint, but an improvement on current practice. They free the actor to embody the character whilst delivering repeatable and safe scenes that facilitate the Director’s vision.’[5]
The guidelines have received the support of Women in Film and Television (UK)[5] and leading industry figures, including Gemma Arterton, Noma Dumezweni, Olivia Coleman, Joseph Millson, and David Farr[6].
