A Bit About Intimacy Direction and Choreography

An Intimacy Director is the person who prioritizes consent around staging scenes of intimacy or heightened vulnerability in live theatre. I am particularly passionate about using music to tell authentic and impactful stories about the human experience, and my training as an opera singer and stage director makes me uniquely qualified to work efficiently within your production process. I have a deep understanding of operatic performance practice and the unqiue challenges that might arise during a production.

When you work with me, you will get a highly-trained collaborator who can blend seamlessly into your process to provide a sense of safety and care for your singing actors and artistic team which will allow everyone to do their best work. 

When you hire an intimacy professional, you will experience:

• the joy of knowing that artist safety is a priority; 

• the confidence that a highly-trained professional is on the scene to sensitively support everyone through the staging process; 

• the knowledge that your rehearsals will be run with ethical standards of care;

• the ability to tell donors and audience members that consent and care for your artists and production team is at the forefront of your process..
