Movement-forward
intimacy work
that moves the story.
I bring a dancer's eye and an actor's instinct to every set and stage, reading the room to meet each project and person where they are, so performers always feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard.
WHAT I DO
Film & Television
Intimacy coordination for features, short films, and web series. Partnering closely with directors and cast to ensure every moment feels intentional and fully realized.
Live Performance
Intimacy direction and choreography for theatre and opera, from San Diego Opera to regional rep, bringing choreographic precision to vulnerable material.
WHAT COLLABORATORS SAY….
“She’s been wonderful to work with! From my perspective as a producer, I felt relieved knowing the team was in her hands. It really added a level of safety and security I’m glad we were able to provide on this project. Looking forward to the next one!”
“Sierra was an absolute gift to our production. She approached the work with empathy and care, creating a safe and playful space for our actors to explore vulnerable material with confidence. Her background as both an actor and dancer deeply informed her approach, making her guidance not only intuitive but educational. She made the process seamless and genuinely enjoyable.”
“Sierra was professional and communicated well through the whole process. I appreciated her creativity and thoughtfulness in navigating a very unusual intimacy scene. She created an environment where safety, fun and collaboration all thrived, and I can’t wait to work with her again!”
