When you work with me

you get a positive, playful, and empathetic collaborator who understands the needs of the production while advocating for the actors.

By facilitating communication and collaboration between actor consent and director vision, the impact of story-telling becomes sustainable for the production as a whole and felt by audiences.

As an Intimacy Director

My foundation and experience as an actor in the theatre industry gives me awareness of the ins and outs of a productions needs, busy rehearsal schedules, sustainability for actors by choreographing intimate scenes for repeatability, conscious of time management and interest to tell a great story.

My strengths lie in musical theatre, and it’s hard to get away from intimacy work when song and dance are the heightened fuel of MT story telling. Having an ID on a production to assist with crafting those moments, layering in musicality, collaborating with choreographers and fight directors can be complicated. Within those layers, intimacy is a strong representation of WHY audiences GO. To experience fantastical moments that take their breath away, the crescendo to the relationships that’s been building since Act 1 and when that moment arises, your audience and actors deserve a more crafted moment than the text we’re often given < inserts ‘they kiss’ before the curtain drops.

As an Intimacy Coordinator

I work side by side with a Director ensuring what the audience sees is believable while upholding actor consent, and boundaries to enhance and uplift creative choices to tell the story. I collaborate and communicate with all departments involved in intimate scenes for cohesive story telling, giving attention to and anticipating what the actors may need to do their best work in an environment where their vulnerability is given space and time and the production stays on time.
