Intimacy Coordinator

An intimacy coordinator must be sensitive to the individual needs of the actors performing in the scene. Coordinating an intimate scene is not unlike setting up a fight, in that a sequence of movements is established first and the acting is layered in second. Anita builds the actors’ confidence with her approach, which translates into a more natural performance.

From Stratford to Star Trek, Anita arrives with professionalism and innovative intimacy/fight design; she meets the challenges of the day with kindness and efficiency. Her approach to the work is both serious & playful, technical, collaborative, and high-spirited. She continues to be a supreme support to accomplished performers and creatives alike, building a safe atmosphere and supporting individual needs.
