Welcome to episode 246 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to welcome Chantal Cousineau (she/her) to the podcast. In this episode, we discuss Chantal's role as an intimacy coordinator, how sexual assault leads to issues of trauma and looking at new practices that are coming onto sets to help prevent these issues.  Chantal Cousineau (she/her) was born in Canada. Raised in a large and loving French-Canadian family, she spent her childhood training tirelessly to become a Tae Kwon-Do champion. Achieving her first-degree black belt at the age of 15, she quickly dominated competitions, winning gold at the Canadian and North American Championships. She started modelling at the age of 17 and soon landed before the lens of famed photographers shooting for Abercrombie &amp; Fitch, Aveda, Italian Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Roots, and many more. She moved to Los Angeles twenty years ago and has since carved out a successful career as an actor shooting television commercials. She has become a grounded voice within the advocacy community, helping 1,300+ survivors of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse share their #MeToo experiences since 2017. A longtime member of SAG-AFTRA, Chantal serves on several union committees to consult on ways the industry can expand its best practices to move closer towards equal treatment, pay parity, representation, and improving safety standards on sets. Chantal has combined her many years of experience as a performer with her survivor advocacy work to pivot to her new career as an intimacy coordinator.  Her most recent intimacy coordinator credits include This Is Us (NBC), The Terminal List (Amazon), and the independent feature film Sharp Stick, which was directed by Lena Dunham.  Chantal is a dual citizen of Canada and the US and speaks both French and English fluently.  In this episode, you will hear:   Looking into Chantal’s role as an intimacy coordination and what it entails    How Chantal became intimacy coordinator and the journey that led her to this role   Analyzing the dynamic of an intimacy coordinator has with other people on set    How sexual assault leads to issues of trauma    How Chantal had a Me-Too experience    The importance of self-care    How many victims of sexual assault do not report it to the police    The ways in which Chantal holds stories of sexual assault for victims     Looking at ways in which young actresses are vulnerable to issues of sexual assault   New practices that are coming onto sets to help prevent these issues   Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode.

Chantal Cousineau - August 7, 2021

What an absolute joy it was talking to these two amazing women, Marci Liroff and Chantal Cousineau, all about their work as intimacy coordinators. We talk about the training involved to become an intimacy coordinator and the power and necessity of precise language and transparency from the audition process to the day of filming. We discuss the protections under the new SAG-AFTRA contract, the larger scope of these protections in legislation, other industries and beyond, what they do on set to support performers and the whole crew and so much more! They have anecdotes galore and incredibly powerful stories about the industry and how it has evolved. You are going thoroughly love this episode, please enjoy! Marci has been involved with filmmakers as a casting director, producer, and acting coach for the last 40+ years. She's cast so many films including E.T, Blade Runner and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, to name a few. She is one of the premier intimacy coordinators today who trained, along with Chantal, with Amanda Blumenthal.  @MarciLiroff  https://www.marciliroffic.com/ Chantal has been a grounded voice within the MeToo advocacy community since 2017, helping 1400+ survivors of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse. As a long time member of SAG-AFTRA, she serves on several national safety committees and has combined her many years of experience to work as a certified film and television intimacy coordinator. @Chantalcousineau.ic https://www.chantalcousineauic.com/
