"For years, people spoke about how awkward or embarrassing it was to perform the intimate content. And what they're speaking about is feeling horrible. If something's awkward, that squirm, that ring in the body, it feels embarrassing. That's actually an emotion that is not professional. That is not allowing the actor to stay feeling listened to, heard, empowered, autonomous. And so that they can just get on without any of those concerns and do their job to their best ability. And that's the awareness that we brought. So, we're saying, it is not suitable in our workplace for anybody to feel harassed or abused. The awareness in the industry, with acknowledging the injury from all those who came forward around the Weinstein allegations is the injury of when someone's coerced into doing something or that their career being threatened is emotional, psychological injury. It's really clear if you've got a stunt and someone's going to be jumping from roof to roof, they might fall down the cracks and break an ankle. Of course, the producers need to mitigate that risk and put in place everything so that the risk that you can perceive might happen is mitigated."Ita O'Brien is the UK's leading Intimacy Coordinator, founder of Intimacy on Set (and author of the Intimacy On Set Guidelines). Her company, set up in 2018 provides services to TV, film, and theatre when dealing with intimacy, and is a SAG-Aftra accredited training provider of Intimacy Practitioners.

This week on the podcast, Georgie is joined Movement Director and Choreographer, Polly Bennett. Polly's credits seem to be never ending; from working with Austin Butler on Baz Luhrmann's latest film 'Elvis', to other biopics like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and then there are TV shows like 'The Crown'. (There's too many to list here. Go and have a look at her incredible CV!) Georgie loved Austin Butler's performance in 'Elvis' and asks Polly more about her time working with Austin and what their day to day looked like. Polly also chats about her process with other characters such as the crowds of Elvis's 'adoring fans' and what it was like filming in Australia. Georgie tells Polly about her (sort of) claim to 'Home and Away' fame and they both accidentally call Austin the name Elvis (he really was that incredible....). You can find Polly over at @pollyannabennett

Beginning her twenties soaking up sorority life at the University of California Santa Barbra, Christina spent the decade working various gigs from door-to-door sales to a concierge job, before finally finding her feet as a teacher. All this mucked in with a hectic social life, navigating the mechanics of an on-and-off 8 year relationship and trying to maintain friendships which had run their course... Christina found herself hustling, but far from a version of herself which felt truly authentic.Christina's twenties felt like a combination of falling hard and fast in every possible way; whether that was into a new job, a new country, or a new love interest. In this episode we discuss all things rejection (both romantically and career wise), relationships, burning the candle at both ends, re-locating to the UK and how thinking even BIGGER and even BOLDER will pay off in ways you'd never expect...Our favourite Millennial Minesweeper Quote this week was:'Unrealistic goals are the only goals worth setting' - Success Consciousness

Matt sits down with FeetUp Director of Community Daniel Scott. The FeetUp trainer is a device designed to help people practice and work on inverted movements in their yoga practice but, its usefulness drastically goes beyond its original intent. Building a community is a learned skill, especially when introducing a niche product but, when driven by pure joy and excitement it's a piece of cake. Daniel Scott is, what he would call, a movement enthusiast, and absolutely reflects on how he got involved with FeetUp. His is a story of ‘one thing led to another' in the most unyielding way, whether it was him leaving the rat race of NYC to travel and find peace of mind, or randomly bumping into the founder of FeetUp. For what he's interested in and passionate about, it's clear that this is a man who is dedicated to sharing what he loves with the world and FeetUp was the conduit for this. In this episode, Daniel shares his approach to cultivate and build a community, what yoga and movement mean to him, and helps map out what yoga is and how it's often misunderstood.

Hi and welcome back to another episode of No Offence, But.I'm happy to be bringing you a conversation with one of my favourite artists and people, Sela Vai. Sela, is a Tongan Australian artist who seeks to create sensuous alchemy through movement. I first saw Sela perform a few years back at a Ngaiire gig at the Factory Theatre in Marrickville, Sydney. A couple of months later, Sela was working with Black Birds as choreographer of our first full-length theatrical show. Since then, Sela has choreographed all of our Black Birds shows and has become our Movement Director and Associate Artist. She's also movement directed for Ngaiire, Thelma Plum, L-Fresh the Lion (to name a few), choreographed for events, commercials and is a sought after teacher for movement and dance programs around the world. Sela also runs an artistic development program called Humxn that aims to connect, up-skill and empower womxn of all walks of life, inclusive of those femme/female-identifying/non-binary. Humxn is a safe space for womxn to explore their artistry to the ends of their unbound potential. Last year Humxn (which was previously known as You Therefore Me) and Black Birds co-curated an event called Reclaim at Sydney's PACT, which went on to win FBi Radio's SMAC award for Best On Stage (yeet!).In today's chat Sela shares her experience of being of the diaspora and living between two worlds, what it was like learning traditional Tongan movement from one of the Tongan Royal Family's ex-staffers and why it's so important for teachers and choreographers to facilitate a safe space. She tells us how the commercial dance industry is inhibiting artists and why she created Humxn. We also touch on the sometimes perilous world of Instagram and Sela tells us why she avoids using the word 'inclusive'.I loved this korero with Sela - I hope you do too! (And if you do ~ rate, review and subscribe!!!)You can find Sela and her program Humxn on IG @selavai and @__humxnor on YouTube (this is her new channel and this is her older channel). I highly suggest you just search 'Sela Vai' on YouTube because a whole lot of gold comes up.
