Intimacy Directing: Alexis Black, Claire Wilcher, Heather Mahoney, Sarah Davis
A conversation with MSU Professor of Acting and Movement, Alexis Black and Michigan State theatre students Claire Wilcher, Sarah Davis, and Heather Mahoney about the practices of Intimacy Direction.
Alexis Black is one of only 30 intimacy directors for theater in the United States, certified by Intimacy Directors International(IDI) and Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC). She is one of only 10 certified intimacy directors employed full-time by a university and one of the two in the Midwest region. Black also works frequently with Redtwist Theatre, the only theatre company in Chicago to hire an intimacy director for a full year-in-residence. She places Michigan State University on the cutting-edge of this emerging field in the theater and entertainment industries.
