Ciara Duffy

Ciara (she/her) is an intimacy coordinator for the film and television industry in Ireland. Beginning her career in the production department in 2014, she has worked on some of the biggest productions in Ireland, including Disney’s Disenchanted,  Lucasfilm's Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi, Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel, and Foundation for Apple+. Extensive experience working with some of the world’s top production companies has given Ciara a valuable insight into the importance of advocating for consent within intimate and vulnerable scenes, with empathy and sensitivity as the cornerstones for protecting the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of the performers and the crew on set.

Ciara possesses the unique ability to effectively manage on-set dynamics while still respecting the creative vision of the director, the objectives of the producers, and the safety and comfort of the cast and crew. She understands that intimacy is an area which many productions still approach with slight trepidation, which is why she safeguards each set to ensure an environment which is supported and trusted, and where actors, directors, and crew are motivated to engage in a collaborative process for the overall betterment of the production. 

Since becoming certified in December 2023, Ciara has choreographed intimate scenes on productions for Apple+, BBC, and Virgin TV in Ireland. She is also currently training to become certified as a Child Protection Liaison for the entertainment industry.
