Artistic History
About Chloe
A thorough approach shaped by personal experience on both sides of the camera.
Chloe Donan is an intimacy coordinator based in Vancouver who is contracted across film, TV, verticals, and theatre. Since 2016, she has worked throughout the commercial, voiceover, modelling, film, and TV industries as a talent agent, actor, film crew, nude double, and special ability performer. These varied experiences have given Chloe a nuanced understanding of performers’ needs, production dynamics, and the importance of clear communication and healthy boundaries on set.
Chloe was a UBCP actor with a 2017 diploma from Vancouver Acting School. She is grateful to have been trained and mentored by several established local performers. She currently works alongside Principal Intimacy Professionals and has completed their team's peer-to-peer mentorship program.
Her movement coaching is informed by specialized research and consultations with professionals in intimacy-adjacent fields. Combined with her acting training, this background has deepened her understanding of human connection and strengthened her ability to translate relational complexities into choreography.
She brings a keen eye for detail and over a decade of professional film experience to her work supporting performers and directors' visions.

Taylor Sukert
Director/Writer — Venari
“Chloe made a difficult scene easy, and it became not only the climactic scene in the story, but also the best scene of the film. Her work has my highest recommendation.”
Noah Penner
Director/Writer — Our Side of the World
“Chloe was thoughtful, professional, and deeply supportive of my vision as a director while always ensuring the cast felt safe and comfortable throughout the process.”
Nicholas Kedrock
Director/Writer — Zero Nine Six
“Chloe's choreo really made the section stand out in ways I don't think I could have done alone. The actors had the audience gasping in the best and most endearing way possible every night.”
Addison Forster
Director — Alligator Hunting
“It was really appreciated when Chloe helped to explain movements, for me and for the actors… I found myself in more of a groove with her reminder to speak more slowly and deliberately with cast. Just needed to hear it, applied it, and got some really wicked stuff out of it.”
Loughran MacLeod
Director/Writer — Dial Tone
“It was my first time with nudity and not being able to see while performing but I felt so cared for by the cast and crew. Thank you to the ever calm and comforting Chloe for making me feel so comfortable and safe on set.”
