Credit Where It’s Due

• The bulk of my training has been under the faculty of Theatrical Intimacy Education, whose ideas and processes I utilize in my freelance practice and may summarize on this site. I highly recommend TIE’s workshops on any subject and believe them to be the best starting point for pursuing the career.

• Some of my training has been under the faculty of Intimacy Directors and Coordinators, The Society of American Fight Directors, and the Association of Theatre Movement Educators whose ideas and processes I have incorporated into my freelance practice. I also incorporate facets of contact improv, authentic relating, sex therapy, meditation and consent education into my practice.

• Thank you to my greater Intimacy Professional community, especially the members of the Intimacy Choreographers, Coordinators, and Educators Resource Group and Southwest Intimacy Professionals for their intellectual generosity.  

• Thank you to the artists whose tools, pedagogies, and ideas predate the coinage of “Intimacy Coordination” but who have inspired me and my mentors to continue this ever-changing work. 

• Website design by Kristen West of Studio Curious.

• Website photography by Arlen J and Dani Hurtado.
