I am the guest on the Embodied People podcast, with 2 of my Laban/Bartenieff mentors, Colleen and Sara, talking about consent as an embodied practice, as well as consent as a pedagogic practice. Listen here!
I also have an interview today in Voyage MIA about working as a movement director and Intimacy Coordinator! Read it here.
Everything I wrote, was interviewed for, or was cited in in 2025 (that I know of, anyway) is linked on my Linktree! There are pieces there for dance, for theatre, and for film, about being a dance educator and an intimacy coordinator /intimacy director
2026 will be full (hopefully) of pieces about my book, so stay tuned for more links!
Larry Elkin of Palisades Hudson and I have been talking about recording this podcast for awhile, and we finally did it!
In this episode of “Something Personal” Larry and I, with host Amy, talk about the “what” and “how”, as well as the Florida-particular “where” of working as an Intimacy Coordinator and Intimacy Director.
There are also shout-outs to Thinking Cap Theatre’s “Lizzie” and “Cymbeline”, my big fall projects.
I’m excited to on the list of the top Intimacy Coordination blogs on the internet! And in some great company!

A few weeks ago, a book/cosplay event took a dark turn when 2 performer guests were harassed/followed/dare we say assaulted by attendees. The podcast “Mind of Sai Marie” with seasoned event professional and writer Sai Marie, did an episode on the importance of consent in public spaces, that really piqued my interest. I reached out to Sai Marie to thank her for sharing this story, and to see if she would like to have a conversation about consent and boundaries. And she agreed!
So here is our conversation about consent and boundaries, especially when the “traditional social contract” is altered.
Join me as I get to return to one of my favorite podcasts, “Beyond the Steps” with Apolla Performance, as Melissa and Bri and I talk about really practical tips for taking care of your needs and boundaries if you are an actor or dancer on set.
