Chat with me

Hey, I’m Phay!

My pronouns are she/they, and I’m an Intimacy Director/Coordinator and artist currently living on unceded kwikwetlim territory near what is colonially called “Vancouver”.

Tell nuanced and intimate stories.

Through implementing the director’s vision, the actors’ boundaries, and intimacy choreography, I aim to elevate the stories told by industry storytellers through a lens of consent, empowerment, and innovation.

Testimonials

  • Phay created a beautifully honest and safe space, and her choreography was as stunning as it was safe and simple to do. She helped us approach this sensitive and complicated piece of theatre with compassion and professionalism. The show could not have happened without her.

  • At my request, Phay sat right next to me at video village and was at the ready when I wanted to discuss adjustments and ways to make the intimacy feel more believable. She quickly earned the trust of the actors and of this show Creator/ Executive Producer and Director. Phay took their job seriously while at the same time being fun on set. I would definitely work with them again and recommend Phay to anyone.

  • My experience with Phay during East of Berlin has completely solidified in my mind the need for an Intimacy Director. I have done intimate scenes in plays in the past, and while I am lucky to have never felt taken advantage of or disrespected, I now see how much more comfort, security, and artistic creativity could have been gotten out of those scenes. Phay created a space in which I felt that I could tell this character’s story fully, while maintaining my own comfort and trust in her and in my scene partner.
