    Intimacy Director

Kind Words

 

“I have both directed Alli and been directed by her. Both are inspiring and affirming experiences. As a performer, Alli listens and supports her fellow actors. As a director, Alli is skilled at drawing out the best in her actors, and creates a safe space where all are encouraged to create and collaborate without fear.”

— Erin Dolan, Artist/Educator

 

“Alli is a true professional driven by her love of empowering individuals through telling stories. She is compassionate, she is clear-minded, she is highly skilled, and she makes every process joyful and illuminating. She is equally skilled as a director, an actor, an intimacy director, and an educator, and every project is better and more engaging when Alli is a part of it. In any capacity, I cannot more highly recommend working with Alli!”

— Julia Fisher, Playwright/Intimacy Director

“Alli St. John is a true professional. I have worked with her as a designer once and intimacy consultant twice and each time she has brought precision, nuance, and an eye towards the big picture of the production. Did I mention she's a delight to be around? Highly recommend working with Alli for your next collaboration.” 

— Claire K Redfield, Director/Educator

 

“Alli's activities and facilitation made the actors very comfortable and took a lot of awkwardness out of the process of staging intimacy. Giving actors very definable boundaries made everyone comfy and the intimacy seamless!”

— Brianna Fallon, Director/Academy Director, Childsplay, Inc

 

“Also the Intimacy Coordinator Alli St. John who creates a scene of such tenderness between Elizabeth and Scratch that one almost feels as though they have been witness to a moment that should have been private.”
