Theatres all over the United States are in the throes of season planning. When whittling down which material would be the best fit for your theatre company, department, or group, it is worth asking which shows in consideration may require an intimacy director/choreographer/designer. Perhaps you already know the value of this work and are looking for suggestions for shows that would be a great opportunity to bring someone in.


Have no fear! Here are a few options for works that you want to bring an intimacy specialist on board to assist in a consent-based, ethical working environment. These lists are by no means exhaustive, but a jumping-off point for season consideration.
