rates
My time and training are both valuable. Rates are based on industry standards for fight choreographers, movement choreographers, and other intimacy professionals. Rates vary depending on the project, but I've provided the following estimates to help you budget. If using daily rates, please be sure to include tech and dress rehearsals.
I do not wish my rates to be prohibitive. All rates are negotiable--please contact me to inquire (lizwhittakeremail@gmail.com)
​
All fees include: consultations with director, actors, other members of creative team; use of intimacy kit (hygiene items, barriers, modesty garments); choreography, assistance with writing content guide if desired

other services
In person or via Zoom
Workshops (1-2 hours) = $100-$1500
Consultations (1 hour) = $50
​​
Workshops can be tailored to the specific needs of the production/organization. A typical 1-2 hour workshop usually covers understanding personal boundaries/limits, self-regulation, consent, communicating boundaries, check-in and closure practices, and how to deal with people breaking boundaries. The goal is to equip participants with the tools and language to work collaboratively while respecting others' and their own boundaries. (Workshops are generally much more effective in person.)
