In episode six of the ScreenSkills podcast, launched in partnership with The Adobe Foundation, we take a closer look at one of the latest - and most attention-grabbing - roles in the screen industry and explore the training programme providing candidates with a first taste of children's TV.

We speak to intimacy coordinator Yarit Dor about her journey from choreography to becoming the West End's first ever intimacy director and her work across stage and screen for productions like Rivals, Knives Out, Peaky Blinders and Wicked. She explains how the role is often misunderstood, why collaboration is so important and what skills are needed to succeed in the role.

We then cover all things DreamBIG!, the new entrant initiative for those looking to start a career in live action and animated children's TV. Sarah Joyce, ScreenSkills Head of Children's TV, gives us an overview of the programme alongside Shelley Gill from training provider thinkBIGGER, and we hear from some of those who've just completed their training about their time on the programme and their production placements.
