Their background in casting and production has given them set wide range of set experiences and a deep understanding of the film and TV process from prep to post. Crucial skills they can offer on a set include gently getting and gauging consent before a scene and on an ongoing basis, reducing feelings of shame, discussing intimate and sexual details of a text/scene, and navigating delicate and triggering territory so that actors can do their best work. Some of the services Mia can provide include choreography, facilitation of nudity riders, emotional support to actors, and consultation when it comes to topics of sexuality, prosthetics, LGBTQIA+ issues, ethical non-monogamy, and more. Mia’s academic background in philosophy, gender studies, and neuroscience, their training in dance and acting, and their professional background in theater and casting inform their intimacy work. They spent over two decades training and working in the theater from writing and directing, to acting, stage management, set-building, and production. Mia’s visual art, music, and performance practice touches on themes of sexuality, trauma, and the body. Their educational background includes a BA in Philosophy from Columbia University. Mia is a SAG/AFTRA-registered, certified Intimacy Coordinator, trained in Mental Health First Aid by the National Council for Behavioral Health, and in Gender Diversity from Speaking of Transgender. At the beginning of the pandemic, Mia founded and continues to run Consent Wizardry, a consent school offering education to adults looking to enhance their consent practice and find and express their boundaries. Consent Wizardry offers Gender and Sexuality Education and Consulting for scripts, staffs, and crew through its Professional Wellness Consulting.
