The Approach

At my core, I am — and have always been — a teacher. It’s not just a profession; it’s a calling that pulses through everything I do. Teaching, to me, is never simply the transmission of information. It is, at its most alive and most honest, a dynamic exchange — a conversation, a relationship, a shared process of discovery. It is rooted in collaboration, and collaboration is the heartbeat of my work.

Whether I’m in a classroom, a rehearsal space, or a creative meeting, I carry the belief that if you are in an authentic relationship with another sentient being — and that relationship is attuned, respectful, and alive — then you are engaged in collaboration. That kind of connection requires not just intellect but presence. Not just hearing but deep, whole-body listening. Listening that is ongoing, active, and embodied. Listening that shapes the space between us.

As an Intimacy Professional, I step into that same space of collaboration — but with even more layers. I become a bridge between people. I advocate for the actors, making sure they feel safe, seen, and empowered in vulnerable moments. I also support the director, working in service of their vision while helping to shape how that vision comes to life through the bodies and boundaries of the performers.

From that nexus — of trust, consent, creativity, and care — the choreography is born. It is not imposed. It is cultivated. And because of that, it becomes more than movement. It becomes storytelling rooted in respect. It becomes art grounded in ethics. And it becomes another extension of what I’ve always done: teach, listen, and co-create.
