Todd Emerson - Intimacy Coordinator
‘Having worked as a performer for decades I bring all of my professional experience to this work, as well as the essential human traits I hold important - kindness, empathy, and a sense of play. I strive to create safe, warm and supportive environments both on set and in the rehearsal room to enable artists to perform at their best.’
“There is a reason Todd is always one of the first people I call when a project of mine is funded. His passion, integrity, and collaborative style are just a few of his many beautiful traits and skills. It’s important to me to have someone who can help deliver directorial vision while maintaining the comfort and boundaries of our actors, and Todd is the best at this. I adore working with him, and can’t wait for many collaborations to come.”

Umi Myers, Actor
Todd creates a relaxed environment for actors to explore and develop ideas whist maintaining healthy boundaries and letting our consent lead the conversation. The storytelling of intimate moments feels to be of paramount importance to Todd and the collaboration he offers between himself and the actors helps us deepen our character work-without him interfering with our process. I wholly trust him and within that trust he has helped me find freedom in my work.
