With backgrounds in acting, directing and modeling, Asha understands the pressure that artists often face to say, “yes” on set, even when the demands of a scene make them uncomfortable. Not wanting to be perceived as “difficult,” and feeling as though a job may be at stake if boundaries are set, is all too familiar to many artists. Only in very recent years has the role of the Intimacy Coordinator been offered as a solution to this communication gap and become an essential part of the growth in the film and fashion industry; ensuring that all involved understand how the intimacy fits into the narrative of the piece and that the channels of communication are clear and open.
