ABOUT ME
My name is Brooke M. Haney (They/she). I'm a NYC based intimacy coordinator and was one of the first 50 intimacy coordinators recognized as qualified by SAG/AFTRA. My background is in acting and I've worked in theatre, film, TV and academia.
​
As an actor, I was often cast in roles where the character experienced trauma, and I wanted something that allowed me to go deep into the character, but not get stuck there. So, I created The Actor’s Warm Down, a 20 minute closure practice for actors working on difficult material.
My first book, The Intimacy Coordinator's Guidebook: Specialties for Stage and Screen came out in early 2024 and A History of Intimacy Professionals in Entertainment: an Inside Look at a Movement was released August 2025, both from Routledge Publishing. I like to write books that don't exist, but that I wish I could read.
​
As a very proud Queer, non-binary intimacy choreographer, I have done extensive study on how to queer the lens of intimate storytelling and am most excited when I get to work on queer content.
​
I've work with CBS, NBC, Warner Brothers, Paramount+, Amazon Prime, Disney, 20th Centruy Fox as well as on films and in theatre.​Additionally, I've intimacy choreographed shows and taught workshops at Vassar College, Syracuse University, NYU, University of Central Florida, Ventura College and Marymount Manhattan College where I taught for eight years.
In 2025, I joined the inaugural certification board for Intimacy Professionals Education Collective. My BA is from the University of Washington and MFA from the University of Central Florida.
​
I hope we get to work together!
