The audience remembers the scene. The performers remember the process.

Great Intimacy Coordination creates the conditions for performers to forget the choreography, trust the process and focus completely on the story.

WITH ENDLESS STORYTELLING POSSIBILITIES:

The body tells the story first.

Intimate scenes are fundamentally sequences of movement, orchestrated through breath, eye contact, timing, weight, distance, and touch. It's through these physical choices that emotional and character depth can be unlocked. That's why my extensive background in dance and movement provides invaluable precision and understanding here. It's nuanced physical language that crafts truly memorable intimacy.

More than choreography

Intimacy goes beyond choreography - it requires understanding of consent, boundaries, and psychological safety. My specialist Wellbeing Coordination training brings a focus on how bodies and brains embody performance, ensuring performer autonomy. The goal isn't clinical scenes, but a trusted process that allows performers to fully immerse themselves when cameras roll.

Scenes should be memorable for all the RIGHT reasons.

Cindy was a phenomenal asset to have on set. She educated all parties involved on the processes of crafting an intimate scene and ensured everyone felt comfortable along the way. Her ability to choreograph movement helped us to create a performance that looked genuine

What does it look like?

No two productions work the same way, so neither do I. Sometimes it's a single conversation. Sometimes it's support from script to wrap.

Pre production

Understanding the story, planning the approach and collaborating with the creative team.

During production

Supporting rehearsals and performance with clear choreography (if requested), communication and coordination between departments.

Post preduction

Performer support (if needed), reflecting where needed and supporting the production through to completion.

You might be wondering ...
DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO SERIOUS?

Not in my experience.

Professional doesn't have to mean serious. Some of the best work happens when performers feel relaxed, supported and free to create. My role is to bring structure where it's needed—without losing the energy, humour and collaboration that make great productions enjoyable.

WILL YOU CHANGE MY CREATIVE VISION?

No.

My role is to support the story, not reshape it. Every production works differently, so my approach adapts to yours. Some directors know exactly what they want and simply need a clear process to bring it to life. Others value another creative collaborator. Either way, my role is to provide the level of support that's genuinely useful—not a one-size-fits-all process.

CAN SUPPORT BE TAILORED TO SMALLER PRODUCTIONS?
Yes!!!
Support can range from a single consultation through to involvement across development, rehearsal, production or post-production. Every engagement is tailored to the scale and needs of the project.
WHAT SCENES BENEFIT FROM INTIMACY COORDINATION?
It's not just those involving nudity or simulated sex. Kissing, close physical contact, vulnerability or complex power dynamics can benefit from a clear, collaborative process. Sometimes it's a single conversation. Sometimes it's support throughout rehearsals and production.

Cindy was the most amazing person to have on set. She was an overall positive and cheerful person, a real moral booster! If you’re based in SEQ, she is your go too!

I didn't start in film and television. I started in performance. Then psychology, Then education with some yoga along the way. Intimacy and Wellbeing Coordination became the place where all those worlds come together.
