Molly Gilbert

Intimacy Direction
Molly has been an Intimacy Choreographer with several companies in the greater Portland area including Oregon Adventure Theatre, Shake&Pop as well as Experience Theatre Project.
Molly has trained with world-renowned Organizations: Theatrical Intimacy Education, Intimacy Directors and Coordinators, as well as the Association of Mental Health Coordinators.
Molly is also a member of the Pacific Northwest Theatrical Intimacy Collective.
Molly approaches Intimacy Direction as a kind of facilitator offering guidance to de-sexualize the work and help to maintain professional boundaries. She has over twenty-five years of theatrical experience making her creative eye all the more clear for moments of staged intimacy in any capacity. She can offer boundary practices for effective communication between scene partners, choreograph moments of intimacy that will help to achieve the vision of the director while working within the boundaries of the actors, draft content disclosures for programs, websites, and for the audition process. Molly can also support mental health needs by offering effective tools for approaching moments of heightened language or action, and help to facilitate difficult conversations should the need arise.
Let's work together.
