Intimacy Coordinator

My name is Jazzy Ellis. I received my Intimacy Coordinator training from Intimacy Directors and Coordinators as a member of their first Level 3 certification cohort. An intimacy coordinator is an advocate, a liaison between actors and production, and a movement coach and choreographer regarding nudity, simulated sex, and other intimate and hyper-exposed scenes.

I adhere to the SAG-AFTRA Standards and Protocols for the Use of Intimacy Coordinators. I am certified in Mental Health First Aid. I have trained in and continue to train in bystander intervention, anti-racism, allyship & advocacy, sexual orientation, anti-harassment, and conflict resolution. Before working in film/TV, I worked as an educator, a professional dancer, and a lifelong advocate for the needs of marginalized people. I bring knowledge from 30+ years of movement training and work. My training focuses on the healing arts, as well. I am a certified yoga teacher, meditation teacher, reiki master, life coach, and retreat facilitator. I lived in the Ecuadorian Amazon learning healing practices and plant medicines from shamans in Shuar and Uwijint villages for my Senior Thesis at Princeton University.

The services I offer as an Intimacy Coordinator are below. Please schedule a call with me for more details.

Intimacy Coordinating

If you have a scene that involves nudity/hyper exposed work, simulated sex acts, and intimate physical contact, then an intimacy coordinator is suitable for your production.

An Intimacy Coordinator is a choreographer, an advocate for actors, and a liaison between actors and production for intimate scenes.

Here's a helpful flowchart from IDC that will help you decide if you need an Intimacy Coordinator for your film/TV/commercial

production.

Consulting

Intimacy Coordinating is a relatively new position in film/TV, and many productions need to talk through their intimate scenes with intimacy coordinators to understand what they will need. I offer consulting services for pre-production. Please book a discovery call below to learn more.

Speaking Engagements

I, Jazzy Ellis, am a self-proclaimed member of the "Consent Army," and if you'd like me to come to speak at your event about Intimacy Coordinating and maintaining a culture of consent within the film/TV industry, book a call below.
