“I was able to trust Madeline completely when working on both fight choreography and intimacy choreography. The play was intense, but Madeline helped break it down and put it all back together in a safe and sustainable way. From her organization to her calm and gentle approach to the subject matter, Madeline was the absolute perfect person for this job.”

“Madeline brought a respectful, encouraging tone to our rehearsals and our set. She was diligent with her analysis of the script and intentional with the way she helped us direct physical intimacy in the scene. All of our actors and crew members felt safe and respected because of her attentiveness and approachable presence.”

“We’re so grateful we had Madeline with us for Spring Awakening. She created such a safe and supportive space for all of the intimacy work. It never felt rushed or uncomfortable — she really took the time to make sure the actors understood everything and felt confident and safe, especially in a show that involved a lot of intimate contact and sensitive topics. She was such an important part of the process and made the show better for all of us.”
