ABOUT ANISE
As a Certified Intimacy Coordinator, Anise works on music videos, Features, photo shoots, theater & TV/Film productions.
When working on intimate scenes, Anise takes a collaborative approach to assisting productions. She believes in supporting both cast and crew in order to set the necessary consent focused foundation for creativity to thrive. Anise values creating spaces where people can tune into their bodies, deepen their sense of self, and relate to others in a way that maintains autonomy & dignity - while adding to the collective artistic vision.
Anise completed OB/GYN & Pediatric hospital rotations at Columbia University’s Masters Nursing Program -during which she studied and observed live births & nuances of chest/breast feeding. Working in the hospital gives her the sensibility to confidentially communicate with cast and crew in vulnerable & quick-paced environments.
Anise is an experienced improviser - making her a strong resource for directors and actors that prefer to devise works.

She has deep familiarity navigating New York City, Atlanta, GA & Charleston, SC.
She is available to travel domestically & internationally (has an active passport).
