Als onafhankelijk intimiteitscoördinator begeleidt Philine Janssens dansers, acteurs, choreografen en regisseurs bij het spelen en vormgeven van intieme scènes. With her Intimacy Toolkit, she already gave firm guidance to the Flemish film industry in late 2022. Philine has a professional background as a dancer and choreographer for performing and audiovisual arts. She has collaborated on a variety of productions at home and abroad for the past 20 years.

During this workshop we will engage in a conversation about intimacy, boundaries, respect, integrity, creativity and sustainable collaboration.
