INTIMACY COORDINATOR

Hello! I am a director, screenwriter, intimacy coordinator and acting coach.

To begin at the beginning... I was in love with acting my whole life, until I wasn't. After
spending three years at Actors Centre Australia with incredible teachers, I graduated, got an
agent, had lukewarm success and then dropped it like a hot potato. I was sick of it hurting
me. I was sick of feeling not enough. But of course, that's not where this intro ends.

Many jobs, two daughters, one relocation back to Hobart and a wonderful partner in life later
- I got bitten by the acting bug again. A passion I thought I'd expelled from my body was
suddenly all I could think about. I started teaching Screen Acting at Musical Theatre Crew and
it was like I was truly where I was meant to be. I have fallen for the craft, rediscovered the
classic techniques, obsessively pulled apart the likes of Laban and Yat Malmgren's work until
my brain has exploded. And I've felt welcomed, supported and seen. And that's how I want
my students to feel. Like expanding, breathing, just BEING is absolutely enough. And
everyone has a place.

After working at a public college producing the school musical, I wrote my first short film ROE
about a teacher trying to set boundaries at an underfunded school. This opened up my world
to screenwriting and directing, and I’ve fallen in love with telling meaningful stories on
screen.
