Hi.
Our theater company refers to this as intimacy staging. In fact, we employ an intimacy coordinator to stage kissing and other intimate scenes the same way we use a fight choreographer for stage combat. You could call it an intimacy contract.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Kissing Contract
I am staging Sleeping Beauty and want to cover myself (legally) on all sides. I'm having the student's parents sign general waivers and am adding an extra one for the kiss at end, just to be safe.
I'm having trouble with professional terminology for this...any thoughts? It can be short and to the point!
