Telemundo’s intimacy coordinator discusses consent and creativity at Miami’s IAFFM 2026.

MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, November 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- An intimate scene may last only seconds on screen, yet require hours of conversation, rehearsal, and agreements. Constanza Espejo will explore this behind-the-scenes work in “The Body in Performance: Intimacy, Consent, and Dramatic Truth in Contemporary Cinema,” presented by the Ibero-American Film Festival Miami (IAFFM) alongside We Art Foundation as part of the festival’s Semillero program.

The talk will take place on Saturday, November 7, at 5:30 p.m. at the Koubek Center. Admission is free, with limited seating.

The Work Behind an Intimate Scene

Intimacy coordinators collaborate with directors, producers, and performers on scenes involving nudity, simulated sex, and other forms of intimacy or bodily exposure. Their work includes reviewing scripts, facilitating clear agreements and boundaries with each performer, collaborating on choreography, and supporting the filming process to maintain ongoing consent and agreed-upon conditions.

Espejo currently serves in this role on Emergencias. Unidad de Vida, Telemundo’s medical series filmed in Miami. During the session, she will explain how intimacy coordination becomes part of the creative process, from preproduction through filming.

The talk is designed for audiovisual professionals and students, as well as anyone interested in understanding how these scenes are created. Topics will include:

For directors: translating an artistic vision into clear, repeatable actions that support truthful performances.

For producers: when to bring in an intimacy coordinator and how to incorporate the role into production planning.

For actors: communicating boundaries, establishing agreements, and maintaining consent throughout rehearsals and filming.

The presentation will be followed by an open conversation with the audience about the questions, resistance, and creative possibilities surrounding this profession.

A Perspective Shaped by Acting and Directing

An Argentine actress and director based in Miami, Espejo brings firsthand knowledge of both a performer’s vulnerability and a director’s responsibility. Her acting career spans Argentina, Spain, Mexico, and the United States, and she has directed more than 35 theatrical productions in Miami, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, and Madrid.

She won Best Performer in a Play in the 2024 BroadwayWorld Miami Metro Awards for her performance in Area Stage’s Las Marcas del Mar (Sea Marks), in which she starred alongside Mariano Chiesa.

She is currently directing Hope Station, a production featuring 18 actors and original music, scheduled to premiere in Miami on December 6, 2026.

Espejo is the author of Del texto a la verdad. Técnica Meisner + Recursos Combinados, available on Amazon, and a certified Meisner Technique instructor. She has taught at Barry University, Instituto Cervantes, and Miami Dade College’s Koubek Center.

Hosting the Closing Awards Ceremony
