Cecily Smith is a seasoned professional actor and has a deep and committed passion for intimacy work. She is a certified intimacy coordinator with IDC Professionals and represented by Intimacy Professionals Association. She is both an intimacy director (theatre) and intimacy coordinator (tv/film). As an intimacy professional, Cecily prides herself on her empathy, high-level communication, and her ability to advocate for the actors in scenes of nudity, adult content, simulated sex, and high emotional stakes. She loves to collaborate creatively and works joyfully and cohesively with the director and the entire production crew to uphold the director’s vision for the project. Her decades of work in theatre and film and her extensive movement and choreography experience allow her to assist in masterfully creating the shape, shots, and story you want. She is not afraid of uncomfortable conversations and is an excellent liaison between actors, directors, costumes, hair, make-up, and all production crew and staff. Cecily quickly creates an atmosphere of bravery, playfulness, and trust elevating both the actors’ performances and the storyline.

She has studied and practiced with the founders of Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC) and Intimacy Coordinators Canada and is also certified in Mental Health First Aid and CPR/First Aid.

Please contact Cecily with any questions. She looks forward to collaborating with you.

She makes us, the actors, feel safe and heard all while lifting the action of a scene off of the page with an exciting energy. Her passion for the work and the art of directing an intimate scene will make any actor passionate about the detail as well.”  -Hannah Krostewitz (actor)
