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 BC, working 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 member, nude photo 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 professional boundaries on set.
Chloe is a UBCP actor with a 2017 diploma from Vancouver Acting School. She is honoured to have been trained and mentored by several formidable local performers. She also works alongside Principal Intimacy Professionals and is engaged in peer-to-peer mentorship from their team. Her movement coaching work is partially informed by research for projects exploring the lives of sex workers, including interviews with professionals in the field. Along with her acting training, this research has deepened her understanding of the dynamics of connection, while strengthening her storytelling ability to communicate these concepts through choreography.
She brings a detail-oriented perspective and over a decade of film experience to her work supporting performers and directors' visions.

“Chloe is incredibly thorough in her approach to ensuring that performers feel safe, informed, and empowered in their choices on set. She is a strong conduit of support for performers and production, both on and off set. Her professionalism and dedication to her craft was an immense benefit to our production, and will benefit any production lucky to have her.”
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.”
