Sharon is a Winnipeg based actress who regularly crosses the medium between film and theatre. She has appeared in many made-in-Manitoba film and television productions including most recently; Haunted Wedding, Little Bird, Love Strikes Twice, Orphan: First Kill, Run, Nobody, Project Christmas Wish, Wynter, Escaping a Madhouse; The Nellie Bly Story, Burden of Truth, Follow Me to Daisy Hills and Forever Christmas. Sharon is at the forefront of bringing the role of Intimacy Coordinator (IC) to all sets in Manitoba.
 

“My philosophy as an Intimacy Coordinator is to help create an environment that encourages creativity through care, communication and consent in scenes involving simulated sex, nudity, sexual violence and hyper exposed material in film and television. I work as an advocate for actors, a support for directors and the go to person on set for all departments, coordinating the specific needs of intimate scenes.”

 

The role of an Intimacy Coordinator is still a relatively new one in Canada. Sharon began her training with Intimacy Directors International (now IDC - Intimacy Directors and Coordinators) in the United States in 2018 and continued to train through Intimacy Coordinators Canada and she is a certified IC with both IDC and ICC. She has worked steadily as an Intimacy Coordinator in 2020/21 on such projects as The Porter Series, Skymed (series), Esther (film), and Wintertide (film).
